See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals from the district court's order denying his

Motion For Reduction of Sentence under 18 U.S.C.A. § 3582(c)(2)

(West Supp. 1996). 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.
Smith, No. CR-93-7-3-P (W.D.N.C. Mar. 27, 1996). We dispense with

oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate-

ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would

not aid the decisional process.




                                                          AFFIRMED
