PER CURIAM:

              John Edward Jackson pled guilty pursuant to a plea

agreement to one count of possession with intent to distribute five

grams    or    more   of   cocaine    base,    in   violation     of      21   U.S.C.

§ 841(a)(1) (2000). Jackson was sentenced by the district court to

262 months’ imprisonment. On appeal, Jackson contends the sentence

imposed by the district court was unreasonable because it included

an enhancement under the career offender guideline.                  We affirm.

              When reviewing the district court's application of the

Sentencing Guidelines, this court reviews findings of fact for

clear error and questions of law de novo.             United States v. Green,

436 F.3d 449, 456 (4th Cir.), cert. denied, 126 S. Ct. 2309 (2006).

A sentence is unreasonable if based on an error in construing or

applying the Sentencing Guidelines. Id. at 456-57. Jackson argues

that the district court should have sentenced him within the

guideline range established by his offense conduct and criminal

history because it was sufficient to satisfy 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a)

(2000). However, because Jackson does not allege that the district

court relied on an improper fact or erred in its determination that

Jackson   satisfied        the   criteria    for    enhancement      as    a   career

offender, we conclude that his sentence is reasonable.

              Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district

court.        Additionally,      we   deny   Jackson’s   pro    se     motion     for

appointment of new counsel on appeal.                  We dispense with oral


                                       - 2 -
argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately

presented in the materials before the court and argument would not

aid in the decisional process.
