                             (June 15, 2015)

Before WILLIAM PRYOR, JORDAN and JILL PRYOR, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:
              Case: 14-15296     Date Filed: 06/15/2015   Page: 2 of 2


      Billy Cleveland appeals pro se the denial of his motion for a sentence

reduction. 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2). Cleveland based his motion on Amendment 782

to the Sentencing Guidelines. We affirm.

      The district court did not err when it denied Cleveland’s motion for a

reduction of his sentence. Cleveland, whose sentence is based on the career

offender guideline, U.S.S.G. § 4B1.1, not on the drug quantity tables, 
id. § 2D1.1,
is ineligible for a sentence reduction under Amendment 782. See United States v.

Lawson, 
686 F.3d 1317
, 1321 (11th Cir. 2012); United States v. Moore, 
541 F.3d 1323
, 1327–30 (11th Cir. 2008). Cleveland challenges his classification as a career

offender, but that challenge is outside the limited scope of section 3582(c)(2). See

United States v. Bravo, 
203 F.3d 778
, 780–81 (11th Cir. 2000).

      We AFFIRM the denial of Cleveland’s motion to reduce.
