PER CURIAM: Jackie order denying McKubbin motion appeals for from the of district sentence court's under 18
his
reduction
U.S.C. § 3582(c) (2006) based on Amendment 591 of the United States Sentencing Guidelines Manual ("USSG"), effective November 1, 2000, and a subsequent order denying reconsideration. The
district court reasoned that Amendment 591 was not retroactive. While this is incorrect, see USSG § 1B1.10(c) (listing Amendment 591 among those to apply retroactively), a reduction of sentence is nonetheless not authorized for McKubbin because he pled
guilty to and was convicted of a conspiracy to violate 18 U.S.C. §§ 841, 860 (2006). Thus, his offense level was properly
determined by reference to 18 U.S.C. § 860.
Accordingly, we
affirm the district court's denial of McKubbin's motion for a sentence reduction, but we modify the district court's order denying reconsideration to note that the motion is denied
because a reduction is not authorized for McKubbin's crime of conviction. We dispense with oral argument because the facts
and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process. AFFIRMED AS MODIFIED
