UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. John VILLALONGA, Defendant-Appellant, 615 F. App'x 945

PER CURIAM: John Villalonga appeals pro se the denial of his motion to reduce his sentence. 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2). Villalonga sought a reduction based on Amendment 782 to the Sentencing Guidelines. We affirm. The district court did not abuse its discretion when it denied Villalonga’s motion to reduce. Amendment 782 did not alter Villalonga’s sentencing range. Villalonga pleaded guilty to conspiring to possess with intent to distribute 1000 or more marijuana plants and was sentenced to a minimum statutory penalty of 120 months of imprisonment. See 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(b)(l)(A)(vii), 846.

Because Villal-onga’s sentence was not based on the drug quantity tables, see United States Sentencing Guidelines Manual § 2D1.1, he was ineligible for a reduction of his sentence. See id. § lB1.10(a)(2)(B) & cmt. n. 1(A); United States v. Mills, 613 F.3d 1070, 1077-78 (11th Cir.2010). Villalonga argues that he is entitled to relief under Freeman v. United States, 564 U.S. -, 131 S.Ct. 2685, 180 L.Ed.2d 519 (2011), but we disagree. In Freeman, a plurality of the Court concluded that a defendant is eligible for a sentence reduction if he enters a plea agreement under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 11(c)(1)(

C) to receive a specific sentence that is based on a guideline range that has been subsequently lowered by the Sentencing Commission. 131 S.Ct. at 2690. Freeman does not address defendants, like Villalonga, who were sentenced based on the statutory mandatory minimum and whose guideline range was not lowered by the retroactive amendment. We AFFIRM the denial of Villalonga’s sentence.
