Assistant United States Attorney, Norfolk, Virginia, for
Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Maurice Daniel Patton appeals the district court’s
orders denying his motion for a reduction of sentence filed
pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2006), and reconsideration
of that order. We have reviewed the record and find no
reversible error. Accordingly, we 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 orders for the
reasons stated therein. See United States v. Patton, No. 2:03-
cr-00148-JBF-JEB-01 (E.D. Va. June 5 & June 24, 2008). We
further deny Patton’s request for transcripts at the
Government’s expense. 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
