PER CURIAM

       Pro se appellant Anthony White appeals from an order of the United States

District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania denying his motion filed under 18

U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2). We will affirm.

       Following a 2007 non-jury trial in the Middle District of Pennsylvania, White was

convicted of possession with intent to distribute marijuana and crack cocaine (21 U.S.C.

§ 841), in addition to several firearm charges, and sentenced to 420 months in prison.

The District Court determined that White qualified as an Armed Career Criminal under §

4B1.4 of the United States Sentencing Guidelines, and employed the career offender table

at § 4B1.1 in determining his base offense level and sentence. We affirmed the judgment

of conviction.1 United States v. White, 

, 125 (3d Cir. 2008).

       White filed the instant § 3582(c)(2) motion on October 28, 2014, seeking a

sentence reduction based on the United States Sentencing Commission’s amendment of

the Drug Quantity Table in 2014 – Amendment 782 – which reduces by two levels the

base offense levels in the Drug Quantity Table at § 2D1.1 of the Sentencing Guidelines.

The District Court appointed the Federal Public Defender’s Office to represent White in

connection with this motion, and then permitted that office to withdraw after it indicated

  White subsequently filed a § 2255 motion, which the District Court denied. White then
filed an application under 28 U.S.C. § 2244, seeking our permission to file a successive §
2255 motion based on Johnson v. United States, 

(2015). On June 29,
2016, at C.A. No. 16-2131, we granted White’s application and transferred it to the
Middle District of Pennsylvania, where it remains pending.
                                             2
to the Court that White’s motion was meritless.2 The District Court subsequently denied

White’s motion on May 11, 2016, and this timely appeal ensued.

       We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 and exercise plenary review over the

District Court’s denial of relief under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2). United States v.

Weatherspoon, 

, 420 (3d Cir. 2012). Under § 3582(c)(2), a court may

modify a defendant’s term of imprisonment if it was “based on a sentencing guideline

range that has subsequently been lowered by the Sentencing Commission.” But if the

revised offense guidelines do not have the “effect of lowering the defendant's applicable

guideline range,” a sentencing reduction is not warranted. U.S.S.G. § 1B1.10(a)(2)(B).

The District Court here calculated White’s Guidelines range under the career offender

table at § 4B1.1, which is unaffected by Amendment 782. Accordingly, he is not entitled

to relief under § 3582(c)(2). See, e.g., United States v. Mateo, 

, 154-55 (3d

Cir. 2009) (holding that a retroactive reduction in the Guidelines’ cocaine base offense

levels does not entitle a defendant to a sentence reduction when his sentencing range was

based on the alternative career offender offense level). We will affirm the order of the

District Court.

 The Federal Public Defender indicated that “Mr. White’s guideline range was set
pursuant to §4B1.1 (Career Offender). Amendment 782 lowered base offenses for
prisoners whose guidelines were set under the Drug Quantity Table of §2D1.1(c) . . .
Amendment 782 does not affect §4B1.1.”
