PER CURIAM:

       Tron Lakey Davis pled guilty to drug and firearm offenses. The district court

sentenced him as a career offender and imposed a life term of supervised release. We

previously vacated Davis’ supervised release term and remanded, and we affirmed the

judgment in all other respects. United States v. Davis, 684 F. App’x 317, 318-20 (4th

Cir. 2017) (No. 15-4527). On remand, the district court entered an amended judgment,

reducing the supervised release term and ruling that, under the mandate rule, it could not

consider Davis’ argument that he was no longer a career offender.

       Davis now appeals from the amended judgment, contending that the mandate rule

did not prevent the district court from applying the career offender provisions in the 2016

Sentencing Guidelines during his resentencing and, furthermore, that his predicate

offense of North Carolina common law robbery is not a crime of violence under the

Guidelines. See U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual §§ 4B1.1, 4B1.2(a)(2) (2016). We

need not decide whether the mandate rule prevented the district court from reevaluating

Davis’ career offender status because, even if it did not, Davis’ challenge to his career

offender status is foreclosed by our recent decision in United States v. Gattis, 877 F.3d

150 (4th Cir. 2017).

       Accordingly, we affirm the amended judgment of the district court. We dispense

with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in

the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

                                                                              AFFIRMED
