PER CURIAM:

             Darren    Leonard    Izard       appeals   the        district       court’s

order granting his motion for reduction of sentence under 18

U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2006).              We have reviewed the record and

find   no    reversible      error.      Accordingly,         we    affirm       for   the

reasons stated by the district court.                   See United States v.

Izard,      No.   5:02-cr-00037-RLV-4          (W.D.N.C.       Oct.        15,     2008).

Further, as this court has recently issued its opinion in United

States v. Hood, 556 F.3d 226 (4th Cir. 2009), we deny Izard’s

motion to place this appeal in abeyance for Hood as moot.                               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
