PER CURIAM:
Anthony John Maldonado appeals the district court’s
order denying his motion for a reduction of sentence filed
pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2006). We have reviewed the
record and find the district court did not abuse its discretion
in denying the motion. See United States v. Goines, 357 F.3d
469, 478 (4th Cir. 2004) (motion under § 3582(c) “is subject to
the discretion of the district court”); United States v. Legree,
205 F.3d 724, 727 (4th Cir. 2000). Thus, we affirm the district
court’s order for the reasons stated there. See United
States v. Maldonado, No. 1:97-cr-00220-NCT-1 (M.D.N.C. May 15,
2009). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and
legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials
before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
AFFIRMED
