Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

      Tyrone Hall appeals the district court’s order denying his

18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2012) motion for a sentence reduction.

Hall sought a reduction based on Amendment 782 to the Sentencing

Guidelines, which reduced the offense levels applicable to drug

offenses.     U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual Suppl. to App’x C,

Am. 782 (2015).       However, because Hall was sentenced as a career

offender    (a   Guidelines   range   from    which      the    district    court

departed downward at sentencing), Amendment 782 did not lower

his   applicable      Guidelines   range,     and   he    is    therefore    not

eligible for a sentence reduction.            Accordingly, we affirm the

district    court’s    judgment.      We    dispense     with    oral   argument

because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented

in the materials before this court and argument would not aid

the decisional process.

                                                                        AFFIRMED
