United States Third Circuit

Sentence for drug crimes is affirmed where district court did not err in denying defendant's motion to reduce his sentence under section 3582(c)(2), as amendments to the crack cocaine guidelines of the U.S.S.G. do not lower defendant's sentencing range due to his status as a career offender.
