PER CURIAM:
Chauncey Floyd appeals a district court order denying
his motion for a sentence reduction under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)
(2006). The district court found Floyd was not eligible for a
reduction under the recent amendments to the Sentencing
Guidelines because his sentence was based, not on a quantity of
crack cocaine, but on his career offender status. We find the
district did not abuse its discretion denying Floyd’s motion for
a sentence reduction. United States v. Goines, 357 F.3d 469,
478 (4th Cir. 2004) (stating standard of review). Accordingly,
we affirm the district court’s order. We dispense with oral
argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately
presented in the materials before the court and argument would
not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
