PER CURIAM:
Teddy Garcia appeals the district court’s denial of his motion to reduce his
sentence, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2). He says that the district court abused
its discretion by not considering the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors and by classifying
him as a career offender. Garcia was not eligible for a sentence reduction, because
he was sentenced as a career offender. So the district court did not have the
authority to consider the § 3553(a) factors. Furthermore, a § 3582(c)(2) motion
cannot be used to challenge his status as a career offender. See Dillon v. United
States, 130 S. Ct. 2683 (2010).
AFFIRMED.
