UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee
v.
MICHAEL BELL,
Defendant-Appellant
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Louisiana
USDC No. 3:93-CR-30033-2
Before WIENER, BENAVIDES, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Michael Bell appeals the sentence imposed following the district court’s
reduction of his sentence pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2). Bell argues that the
holding in United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220 (2005), applies in § 3582(c)(2)
proceedings and that the district court abused its discretion by not imposing a
sentence below the amended guidelines sentencing range. Bell’s arguments are
foreclosed by United States v. Doublin, 572 F.3d 235, 236-39 (5th Cir. 2009),
petition for cert. filed (Sept. 21, 2009) (No. 09-6657).
AFFIRMED.

Pursuant to 5 TH C IR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion
