Corey Lemar Wright appeals pro se the denial of his third motion to reduce
his sentence. 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2). Wright moved for a reduction based on
Amendment 782 of the Sentencing Guidelines. We affirm.
The district court did not err by denying Wright’s motion. Wright pleaded
guilty to possessing with intent to distribute cocaine base, see 21 U.S.C.
§ 841(a)(1), (a)(2), and the district court sentenced him to five years of
imprisonment. Because Wright’s sentence was based on the statutory mandatory
minimum, see United States Sentencing Guidelines Manual § 5G1.1(b), not on the
drug quantity tables, see id. § 2D1.1, he was ineligible for a reduction of his
sentence under Amendment 782, see id. § 1B1.10 cmt n.1(A). The district court
lacked authority to reduce Wright’s sentence.
We AFFIRM the denial of Wright’s motion to reduce.
