UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff - Appellee,
v.
DESMOND WARD, a/k/a David A. King,
Defendant - Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western
District of North Carolina, at Charlotte. Graham C. Mullen,
Senior District Judge. (3:96-cr-00029-GCM-2)
Submitted: October 20, 2009 Decided: October 26, 2009
Before TRAXLER, Chief Judge, NIEMEYER, Circuit Judge, and
HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Desmond Ward, Appellant Pro Se. Amy Elizabeth Ray, Assistant
United States Attorney, Asheville, North Carolina, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Desmond Ward appeals the district court’s order
granting his motion for a sentence reduction under 18 U.S.C.
§ 3582(c)(2) (2006) and lowering his sentence from 235 months to
188 months of imprisonment. We have reviewed the record and
find no reversible error. Contrary to Ward’s arguments on
appeal, he is not entitled to a further reduction in his
sentence. See United States v. Dunphy, 551 F.3d 247, 257 (4th
Cir.), cert. denied, 129 S.Ct. 2401 (2009). Accordingly, we
affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. United
States v. Ward, No. 3:96-cr-00029-GCM-2 (W.D.N.C. May 27, 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
