ORDER

MARCIA MORALES HOWARD, District Judge.

Before the Court is Defendant's Motion for Sentence Reduction Under Amendment 782 (Doc. 135, Motion). Defendant seeks to reduce his prison term under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) based on Amendment 782 to the United States Sentencing Guidelines, a retroactive guidelines amendment, see U.S.S.G. § 1B1.10(e) (2014). See Motion at 1. The Court appointed the Federal Public Defender's Office to represent Defendant. (Doc. 136, Order Appointing FPD). The Federal Public Defender has notified the Court that Defendant appears to be ineligible for a reduction because Defendant's base offense level was not calculated by reference to the drug quantity table, U.S.S.G. § 2D1.1(c). (Doc. 140, FPD's Notice). The United States Probation Office has reached the same conclusion. (Doc. 137, Amendment 782 Memorandum).

The Court has reviewed the presentence investigation report and the Amendment 782 Memorandum from the United States Probation Office. The record confirms that at sentencing, the Court did not rely on the drug quantity table set forth in § 2D1.1(c) to calculate Defendant's applicable sentencing guideline range. Instead, the Court determined Defendant's applicable guideline range based on its finding that Defendant qualified to be sentenced as a career offender pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 4B1.1. Amendment 782 only affects sentences determined by the application of the § 2D1.1(c) drug quantity table. See U.S.S.G. App. C, Amend. 782 (2014). Where, as here, "a retroactively applicable guideline amendment reduces a defendant's base offense level, but does not alter the sentencing range upon which his or her sentence was based, § 3582(c)(2) does not authorize a reduction in sentence." United States v. Moore, 541 F.3d 1323, 1330 (11th Cir. 2008). See also United States v. Funchess, 610 F. App'x 966, 967 (11th Cir. 2015) (Amendment 782 did not entitle defendant to sentence reduction where defendant's sentence was based on career offender guideline); U.S.S.G. § 1B1.10(a)(2)(B) (stating a reduction is not authorized if the amendment "does not have the effect of lowering the defendant's applicable guideline range.").

Accordingly, it is hereby

ORDERED:

Defendant's Motion for Sentence Reduction Under Amendment 782 (Doc. 135) is DENIED.

DONE AND ORDERED.
