Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

               Bruce    Samuels    appeals       the   district       court’s    order

denying   his     18    U.S.C.    § 3582    (2006)     motion   for    reduction      of

sentence.       We have reviewed the record and find no reversible

error.    Accordingly, we deny leave to proceed in forma pauperis

and dismiss the appeal for the reasons stated by the district

court.    United States v. Samuels, No. 2:93-cr-00066-HCM-5 (E.D.

Va. May 9, 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.

                                                                             DISMISSED
