                      ________________________

                            (August 8, 2012)



Before TJOFLAT, CARNES, and KRAVITCH, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:




                                    32
             Case: 12-10211     Date Filed: 08/08/2012   Page: 33 of 34

      In these consolidated appeals, federal prisoners were convicted of crack

cocaine crimes. In each case, the district court calculated the prisoners’ guidelines

ranges using the career offender guideline because each prisoner had at least two

prior felony convictions for a controlled substance offense. See United States

Sentencing Guidelines § 4B1.1 (Nov. 2011). The prisoners later filed motions to

reduce their sentences under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2), contending that Amendment

750 to the guidelines, which lowered the base offense levels for crack cocaine

crimes in U.S.S.G. § 2D1.1, had reduced their guidelines ranges. The district

court denied those motions, and these are the prisoners’ appeals.

      The district court did not err in denying the § 3582(c)(2) motions. In United

States v. Moore, 
541 F.3d 1323
, 1330 (11th Cir. 2008), we held that “[w]here a

retroactively applicable guideline amendment reduces a defendant’s base offense

level, but does not alter the [career offender] sentencing range upon which his or

her sentence was based, § 3582(c)(2) does not authorize a reduction in sentence.”

Moore controls here. Amendment 750 did not alter the prisoners’ career offender

guidelines ranges, so the district court is not authorized to reduce their sentences

under § 3582(c)(2). See 
Moore, 541 F.3d at 1330
; see also United States v.

Glover, — F.3d —, No. 12-10580, 
2012 WL 2814303
, at *3 (11th Cir. July 11,

2012) (“[Section 3582(c)(2)], the Sentencing Commission’s corresponding policy

statement, and the commentary to that policy statement all make it clear that a

court cannot use an amendment to reduce a sentence in a particular case unless

that amendment actually lowers the guidelines range in that case. It is that

simple.”). The prisoners argue that the Supreme Court’s decision in Freeman v.

United States, 564 U.S. —, 
131 S. Ct. 2685
(2011), abrogated our decision in

Moore, but we have already rejected that argument. See United States v. Lawson,

— F.3d —, No. 11-15912, 
2012 WL 2866265
, at *2–3 (11th Cir. July 13, 2012).

      AFFIRMED.
