    v.
    BRENDA LEE FORD
    Defendant-Appellant
    Appeal from the United States District Court
    for the Northern District of Texas
    USDC No. 4:95-CR-16-1
    Before DAVIS, GARZA, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
    PER CURIAM:*
    Brenda Lee Ford, federal prisoner # 26255-077, was sentenced to a
    324-month term of imprisonment following a 1995 conviction for conspiracy to
    possess with intent to distribute cocaine and possession with intent to distribute
    cocaine.     Based on Ford’s motion to reduce her sentence under 18 U.S.C.
    § 3582(c)(2) due to the crack cocaine amendments to the Sentencing Guidelines,
    the district court reduced the aggregate sentence of 324 months to 262 months
    in prison.
    *
    Pursuant to 5TH CIR . R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
    be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR .
    R. 47.5.4.
    No. 08-10745
    On June 24, 2008, Ford filed a pro se “motion to revisit sentencing in the
    interest of justice under newly defined law of the § U.S.S.G.” Ford asserted that
    her prior convictions did not qualify her as a career offender. The district court
    denied the motion as an unauthorized motion. On appeal, Ford has not shown
    a jurisdictional basis for her motion to revisit. Because Ford has appealed an
    unauthorized motion, we dismiss the appeal on the basis that the district court
    lacked jurisdiction. See United States v. Early, 
    27 F.3d 140
    , 142 (5th Cir. 1994).
    DISMISSED.
