MEMORANDUM**

2

Michael Dale Hodges, a federal prisoner, appeals pro se the district court's denial of his 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2255 motion to modify, vacate or set aside his 168-month conviction. Hodges contends that he received ineffective assistance of counsel because his attorney failed to warn him that he could be sentenced as a career offender prior to his guilty plea. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2255. We review the district court's factual findings for clear error and its conclusions of law de novo. United States v. Roberts, 5 F.3d 365, 368 (9th Cir. 1993). We affirm for the reasons stated by the district court.
