MEMORANDUM**


2
Garabet Zakarian appeals pro se the district court's denial of his petition for modification of sentence.  We construe his petition as a motion brought pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255, and affirm.


3
Relying on  Bailey v. United States, 116 S.Ct. 501 (1995), Zarkarian contends that the district court erred in enhancing his sentence for possession of a firearm under U.S.S.G. § 2D1.1(b)(1) because he did not actively employ the firearm.  Zarkarian's reliance on Bailey is misplaced.  Bailey concerns the meaning of the term "use" under 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(1), not "possession" under U.S.S.G. § 2D1.1(b)(1).  See id. at 509.   Accordingly, we affirm the district court's denial of Zarkarian's motion.


4
AFFIRMED.
