United States Second Circuit

Sentence for drug crimes is affirmed where the district court properly found that defendant was not eligible for a sentence reduction as his sentence as a career offender under U.S.S.G. sec. 4B1.1 was not based on a sentencing range that was subsequently lowered by the Sentencing Commission.
