Lionel Ray Hairston, Appellant Pro Se. Donald Ray Wolthuis, OFFICE
OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Roanoke, Virginia, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Lionel Ray Hairston appeals the district court’s order
denying his motion under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2000), seeking a
reduction to his sentence based on an amendment to the Sentencing
Guidelines. 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). 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
