Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Lamont Harold Garrison appeals the district court’s
order granting his motion for reduction of sentence pursuant to
18 U.S.C. § 3582(c) (2006). ∗ We have reviewed the record and
find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the
reasons stated by the district court. United States v.
Garrison, No. 1:98-cr-00132-JCC-13 (E.D. Va. June 2, 2008). See
United States v. Dunphy, 551 F.3d 247 (4th Cir.), cert. denied,
129 S. Ct. 2401 (2009). Garrison’s motion for preparation of a
transcript at Government expense is denied. 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
∗
Garrison filed a notice of appeal outside of the appeal
period, and we remanded to the district court to determine
whether Garrison had demonstrated excusable neglect or good
cause warranting an extension of the appeal period. See United
States v. Garrison, 309 F. App’x 691 (4th Cir. 2009) (No.
08-7532). The district court found Garrison demonstrated good
cause and therefore deemed the notice of appeal timely filed.
Accordingly, we review the appeal on the merits.
