Opinion

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, 125 S.Ct. 738, 160 L.Ed.2d 621 (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Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir R. 47.5.4.
