Affirmed
Dist. Ct. did not err in denying defendant’s motion for reduction of his sentence under section 3582(c) on crack cocaine charges where his 192-month term of incarceration was specified in defendant’s plea agreement that was accepted by Dist. Ct. While defendant’s motion was based on retroactive revised guidelines for sentences involving crack cocaine, defendant’s plea agreement made him ineligible for instant sentence reduction since his sentence was not based on any guideline range, but rather on terms of plea agreement.
