Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Jose Juan Organes-Espino appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for
a sentence reduction under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2012), in which he sought the benefit
of Amendment 782, and the order denying his motion for reconsideration. The district
court correctly concluded that Organes-Espino is not eligible for a sentence reduction under
Amendment 782 and, therefore, did not abuse its discretion in denying the motions. See
United States v. Muldrow, 844 F.3d 434, 437 (4th Cir. 2016). Accordingly, we affirm.
United States v. Organes-Espino, No. 1:09-cr-00263-WO-1 (M.D.N.C. June 28, 2016 &
May 8, 2017). 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
