PER CURIAM:

           William      Jackie   Pearson   appeals    the   district       court’s

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

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

reversible     error.       Accordingly,     we   deny      the     motion     for

appointment of counsel and affirm for the reasons stated by the

district court.         United States v. Pearson, No. 4:98-cr-00015-

LHT-1 (W.D.N.C. filed Mar. 26, 2009, entered Mar. 27, 2009).                   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
