ORDER

This matter is before the Court on the Defendant's pro se motion for modification of sentence pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2).

The Defendant seeks a sentence reduction based on Amendment 782 to the Sentencing Guidelines which lowered the drug quantity base offense levels applicable to certain drug offenses. The Defendant is not eligible for a sentence reduction, however, as he was sentenced to the ten year mandatory minimum sentence required under 21 U.S.C. § 841(b)(1)(A) and Amendment 782 did not alter the applicable guideline range for cases involving a statutory minimum sentence.

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Defendant's Motions for Sentence Reduction [Doc. No. 480] is DENIED.
