UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 14-6914
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff - Appellee,
v.
RON KEITH MORRISON,
Defendant - Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of North Carolina, at Wilmington. W. Earl Britt,
Senior District Judge. (7:02-cr-00107-BR-1)
Submitted: November 18, 2014 Decided: November 20, 2014
Before NIEMEYER, MOTZ, and GREGORY, Circuit Judges.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Ron Keith Morrison, Appellant Pro Se. Thomas Gray Walker,
OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Raleigh, North Carolina,
for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Ron Keith Morrison appeals the district court’s order
denying his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2012) motion for reduction
of his sentence based on Amendment 750 to the U.S. Sentencing
Guidelines Manual. We affirm.
The district court properly concluded that it lacked
authority to grant a sentence reduction under § 3582(c)(2)
because Morrison’s Guidelines range was driven by his career
offender designation and not the crack cocaine Guidelines
provisions. See United States v. Munn, 595 F.3d 183, 187 (4th
Cir. 2010).
To the extent that Morrison challenges the continued
viability of that designation, such a claim is not properly
pursued in a § 3582(c)(2) motion. See Dillon v. United States,
560 U.S. 817 (2010) (explaining that § 3582(c)(2) does not
authorize full resentencing, but permits sentence reduction only
within narrow bounds established by the Sentencing Commission).
Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order.
See United States v. Morrison, No. 7:02-cr-00107-BR-1 (E.D.N.C.
May 29, 2014). We dispense with oral argument because the facts
and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials
before this court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
AFFIRMED
