    UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee v. Michael Anthony DAVIS, Defendant-Appellant.
    No. 12-10107
    Summary Calendar.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
    June 26, 2012.
    Michael Anthony Davis, El Reno, OK pro se.
    Before HIGGINBOTHAM, DAVIS, and ELROD, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

Michael Anthony Davis, federal prisoner # 33896-177, appeals the denial of his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) motion, in which he argued that he was entitled to reduction in sentence pursuant to Amendment 750 to the United States Sentencing Guidelines. Davis was convicted in 2005 of conspiring to possess and distribute cocaine and distributing cocaine base and was sentenced at the bottom of the applicable guidelines range to 360 months of imprisonment.

Section 3582(c)(2) permits the discretionary modification of a defendant’s sentence “in the case of a defendant who has been sentenced to a term of imprisonment based on a sentencing range that has subsequently been lowered by the Sentencing Commission pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 994(o).” § 3582(c)(2); see United States v. Doublin, 572 F.3d 235, 237 (5th Cir.2009). We review the district court’s decision whether to reduce a sentence under § 3582(c)(2) for abuse of discretion and the district court’s interpretation of the Guidelines de novo. United States v. Evans, 587 F.3d 667, 672 (5th Cir.2009).

Although application of the amendment at issue would reduce Davis’s base offense level, it would not alter the sentencing guidelines range upon which his sentence was based. Accordingly, because Davis’s sentencing guidelines range would remand unchanged at 360 months to life imprisonment, § 3582(c)(2) does not authorize a reduction in his sentence. See U.S.S.G. § lB1.10(a)(2)(B), p.s., comment. (n.l(A)).

To the extent that Davis challenges the application of a sentencing enhancement and the determination that he was responsible for 2.7 kilograms of cocaine base, a § 3582(c)(2) motion “is not a second opportunity to present mitigating factors to the sentencing judge, nor is it a challenge to the appropriateness of the original sentence.” United States v. Whitebird, 55 F.3d 1007, 1011 (5th Cir.1995).

AFFIRMED. 
      
       Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
