PER CURIAM:

     Arthur Nakia Jones appeals from the district court’s order

denying his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2012) motion to reduce his

sentence     pursuant     to    Amendment            782    to    the   U.S.    Sentencing

Guidelines     Manual     (2014).           A       district      court’s   decision     on

whether to reduce a sentence under § 3582(c)(2) is reviewed for

abuse of discretion, while its conclusion on the scope of its

legal    authority    under         that    provision        is    reviewed      de   novo.

United States v. Munn, 595 F.3d 183, 186 (4th Cir. 2010).

     Our review of the record reveals that the district court

did not abuse its discretion in denying Jones’ motion.                                   See

United     States    v.   Smalls,          720       F.3d    193    (4th    Cir.      2013).

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     this    court    and

argument would not aid the decisional process.

                                                                                   AFFIRMED
