PER CURIAM:

           Ernest   Edward    Johnson        appeals    the    district      court’s

order denying his motion for reduction of sentence, 18 U.S.C.

3582(c)   (2006).     We    have    reviewed      the       record   and    find   no

reversible error.    Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated

by the district court.        United States v. Johnson, No. 1:99-cr-

00034-CCB-1   (D.   Md.    Oct.    15,   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
