PER CURIAM:

            Jabbaar       Fareed    appeals       the   district    court’s     order

granting    him    a    reduction    of    sentence      pursuant   to    18    U.S.C.

§ 3582(c)(2) (2006).          Finding no merit in Fareed’s appeal, we

affirm.

            First,      the   record      does    not   demonstrate      that   Fareed

raised the issue his seeks to appeal before the district court.

Such     issues        generally     are       not      amenable    to     appellate

consideration.         Muth v. United States, 1 F.3d 246, 250 (4th Cir.

1993).     Second, Fareed’s basis for further reduction of sentence

could not properly be pursued through a motion brought under 18

U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2).          Lastly, the Fair Sentencing Act of 2010

does not apply retroactively to offenders, like Fareed, who were

sentenced before its enactment.                  United States v. Bullard,

F.3d       , No. 09-5214, 2011 WL 1718894, at *10 (4th Cir. May 6,

2011).     Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order.                      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
