OPINION
PER CURIAM:


1
Howard Freeman Patterson appeals from the district court's order denying his request for a reduction of sentence under Fed.  R. Crim.  P. 35(a), for offenses committed both before and after the November 1, 1987, amendment to Fed.  R. Crim.  P. 35.  Our review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that this appeal is without merit.  Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.  United States v. Patterson, No. CR-90-15 (W.D.N.C. Feb. 7, 1992).  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
