PER CURIAM:

             Luther Vereen, Jr., appeals from his 262-month sentence

entered following his guilty plea to conspiracy to distribute fifty

grams   or   more   of   crack   cocaine.   Vereen   contends   that   the

sentencing enhancement he received for being a career offender is

precluded by the Supreme Court’s decision in United States v.

Booker, 

 (2005).

             Applying Booker, we find no sentencing error.        To the

extent that Vereen argues that his sentence was unreasonable, the

Guidelines were correctly calculated, and Vereen was sentenced at

the lowest end of the Guideline range.       Therefore, we do not find

his sentence to be unreasonable.       See United States v. Hughes, 

, 546-47 (4th Cir. 2005) (holding that sentences post-

Booker would be reviewed for reasonableness).

             Accordingly, we affirm Vereen’s sentence.      We dispense

with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are

adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument

would not aid the decisional process.



                                                                AFFIRMED
