ATTORNEY, Baltimore, Maryland, Christopher John Romano,
Assistant United States Attorney, Baltimore, Maryland, for
Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Edward Kermit Richards, III, appeals the district court’s
order denying relief on his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2012) motion
for a sentence reduction pursuant to Amendments 782 and 794 to
the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual. We have reviewed the
record and find no reversible error. Specifically, both of the
Guidelines Amendments under which Richards sought a sentence
reduction were in effect at the time of Richards’ February 2016
sentencing. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order.
See United States v. Richards, No. 1:14–cr–00385–CCB–1 (D. Md.
Oct. 21, 2016). 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
