    UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Mack Charles WILLIAMS, Defendant-Appellant.
    No. 08-17252
    Non-Argument Calendar.
    United States Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit.
    June 8, 2009.
    Before BARRETT, MARCUS and ANDERSON, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

Mack Charles Williams appeals the district court’s denial of his motion for a reduced sentence, filed pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2). Williams’s § 3582(c)(2) motion was based on Amendment 706 to the United States Sentencing Guidelines, which reduced base offense levels applicable to crack cocaine.

Williams argues that the district court erred as a matter of law in denying his motion for a reduced sentence because he was sentenced as a career offender. Williams concedes that the issue he raises on appeal is controlled by our decision in United States v. Moore, 541 F.3d 1323, 1327 (11th Cir.2008), cert. denied, McFadden v. United States, — U.S. -, 129 S.Ct. 965, 173 L.Ed.2d 156 (2009), and cert. denied, - U.S. -, 129 S.Ct. 1601, 173 L.Ed.2d 689 (2009), but he argues that Moore was wrongly decided as the sentencing guidelines are fully advisory, even in § 3582 proceedings.

The district court did not err in denying Williams’s § 3582(c)(2) motion because he was sentenced as a career offender. Moore, 541 F.3d at 1330 (holding that a district court lacks authority under § 3582(c)(2) to reduce a defendant’s sentence when the defendant was sentenced under U.S.S.G. § 4B1.1 as a career offender). Additionally, Williams’s argument that the sentencing guidelines are fully advisory, even in § 3582 proceedings, is also foreclosed by precedent. See United States v. Melvin, 556 F.3d 1190, 1192-93 (11th Cir.2009) (holding that United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220, 125 S.Ct. 738, 160 L.Ed.2d 621 (2005) does not “prohibit the limitations on a judge’s discretion in reducing a sentence imposed by § 3582(c)(2) and the applicable policy statement by the Sentencing Commission”), petition for cert. filed, (U.S. Feb. 10, 2009) (No. 08-8664). Accordingly, we affirm.

AFFIRMED.
