1        Appeal from an order of the United States District

2    Court for the Eastern District of New York (Gleeson, J).

3    UPON DUE CONSIDERATION, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND

4    DECREED that the order of the district court is AFFIRMED.

5        Appellant Gary Williams, pro se, appeals from the

6    district court’s order denying his motion made pursuant to

7    18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) and Amendment 591 to the United

8    States Sentencing Guidelines for reduction of an imposed

9    term of imprisonment.    We assume the parties’ familiarity

10   with the underlying facts, the procedural history of the

11   case, and the issues on appeal.

12       We review de novo a district court’s determination as

13   to whether the defendant’s sentence was based on a

14   sentencing range that was subsequently lowered by the

15   Sentencing Commission.    See United States v. Williams, 551

16   F.3d 182, 185 (2d Cir. 2009).       After an independent review

17   of the record and relevant case law, we affirm for

18   substantially the same reasons articulated by the district

19   court judge in his well-reasoned decision filed September

20   12, 2012.

21       We have considered all of Williams’s remaining

22   arguments and find them to be without merit.       Accordingly,


                                     2
1   for the reasons stated above, we AFFIRM the order of the

2   district court.
