OPINION
FISHER, Circuit Judge:
We hold that, when determining a sentencing range under U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual (U.S.S.G.) § lB1.10(b), a district court may apply the offense level dictated by the career offender guideline, U.S.S.G. § 4B1.1, even if the district court did not apply the § 4B1.1 offense level at the defendant’s original sentencing, so long as the court determined at the original sentencing that the defendant was a career offender. Applying that rule here, we affirm the district court’s dismissal of the defendant’s motion for a reduction of sentence.
