United States v. Richard Martin

OPINION OF THE COURT

HARDIMAN, Circuit Judge. '

Richard Martin appeals an order of the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania that denied his motion for a sentence reduction under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2). Martin claimed he was entitled to a lesser sentence because of Amendment 782 to the United States Sentencing Guidelines (Guidelines or USSG), but the District Court disagreed because Martin was a career offender. We agree with the District Court that Martin’s status as a career offender meant that he was not eligible for a reduced sentence.
