PER CURIAM:
Joe Lewis Blackwell, Jr., appeals the district court’s
order denying his motion for reduction of sentence pursuant to
18 U.S.C. § 3582(c) (2012). We have reviewed the record and
find no abuse of discretion by the district court. Accordingly,
we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. United
States v. Blackwell, No. 2:96-cr-00109-JAB-1 (M.D.N.C. July 16,
2013). We deny Blackwell’s motion for appointment of counsel,
and 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
