MEMORANDUM

Kevin Hickman has filed a motion to reduce his sentence pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) which relies on Amendment 782 of the Guidelines. After trial, and a remand after appeal, he was sentenced to 360 months imprisonment. His motion, (ECF No. 337), will be denied.

Hickman was determined to be a career offender under U.S.S.G. §4B1.1. This determination was correct. Prior to his conviction in this case, he had been convicted of distribution of heroin in 1996 and attempted distribution of a controlled dangerous substance in 2006. Neither of these convictions has been set aside. Therefore, under Fourth Circuit law Hickman is not eligible for reduction of sentence under Amendment 782. U.S. v. Munn, 595 F.3d 183, 187-88 (4th Cir. 2010); see also U.S. v. Blakeney, 540 Fed. App'x 219, 220 (4th Cir. 2013).

A separate order denying Hickman's motion is being entered herewith.
