          The Honorable William F. Kuntz, II, of the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of New York, sitting by designation.
For Appellee:                            PAUL D. SILVER (John M. Katko, on the brief),
                                         Assistant United States Attorneys, for Richard S.
                                         Hartunian, United States Attorney for the Northern
                                         District of New York, Albany, NY

For Defendants-Appellant:                JAMES P. EGAN (Lisa A. Peebles, on the brief), Federal
                                         Public Defender’s Office, Syracuse, NY


        Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northen District of New York
(Scullin, J.).

       ON CONSIDERATION WHEREOF, it is hereby ORDERED, ADJUDGED, and

DECREED that the judgment of the district court be and hereby is AFFIRMED.

       Defendant-Appellant Jason Reed appeals from an order of the United States District

Court for the Northen District of New York (Scullin, J.) dated February 22, 2012. In that order,

the district court refused to reduce Reed’s sentence under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) to a term of

imprisonment that fell below his amended guideline range. We affirm for the reasons set forth in

United States v. Clifton Stith, 11-4933-cr (2d Cir. May 30, 2013).

       We have considered the Defendant-Appellant’s remaining arguments and find them to be

without merit. For the reasons stated herein, the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.

                                         FOR THE COURT:
                                         CATHERINE O’HAGAN WOLFE, CLERK
