Anthony Marcellus Baker, Appellant Pro Se.    Rod J. Rosenstein,
United States Attorney, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

          Anthony Marcellus Baker appeals the district court’s

orders denying his motion for modification of sentence, 18 U.S.C.A.

§ 3582(c)(2) (West 2000 & Supp. 2008).   We have reviewed the record

and find no reversible error.       Accordingly, we affirm for the

reasons stated by the district court. United States v. Baker, Nos.

8:94-cr-00361-PJM-l; 8:08-cv-01102-PJM-l (D. Md. filed May 1, 2008

and entered May 2, 2008; May 9, 2008).*      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




     *
      To the extent that Baker seeks to raise his claims by way of
a 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000) motion, the district court properly noted
that he must first obtain authorization from this court pursuant to
28 U.S.C. § 2244 (2000).
