Byron Joseph Knox, Appellant Pro Se.        Amy Elizabeth Ray,
Assistant United States Attorney, Asheville, North Carolina, for
Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

            Byron Joseph Knox appeals the district court’s order

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

§ 3582(c)(2) (2006).       We have reviewed the record and find no

reversible error.     Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated

by the district court.      See United States v. Knox, No. 5:98-cr-

00192-RLV-1 (W.D.N.C. Mar. 3, 2009).        We deny Knox’s motion for

appointment of counsel.      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
