Carvel E. Benson, Appellant Pro Se. Laura Marie Everhart, Assistant
United States Attorney, Norfolk, Virginia, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Carvel E. Benson appeals the district court’s order denying

his motion filed pursuant to 18 U.S.C.A. § 3582(c)(2) (West 2000).

We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and

find no reversible error.   Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning

of the district court.   United States v. Benson, No. CA-89-136-2

(E.D. Va. Apr. 24, 2002).     Benson’s motion for appointment of

counsel is denied. 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
