United States Ninth Circuit

In an appeal of sentence for crack cocaine related drug conviction, district court's denial of motion for reduction of sentence pursuant to 18 U.S.C. section 3582(c)(2) is affirmed where the retroactive Sentencing Guidelines Amendment (Nov. 2011), which reduced the crack cocaine offense levels set forth in U.S.S.G. section 2D1.1, does not apply to or help defendants who were sentenced as career offenders pursuant to U.S.S.G. section 4B1.1.
