PER CURIAM:

               Tido   Maurice       Thompson       appeals       the     district     court’s

order denying his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2006) motion to reduce

his sentence pursuant to Amendment 750 to the U.S. Sentencing

Guidelines      Manual      (2011).        We      have    reviewed         the    record    and

conclude       the    district       court      properly         found      it    lacked    the

authority to reduce Thompson’s 120-month sentence, which was the

statutory mandatory minimum.                    See United States v. Munn, 595

F.3d    183,    186    (4th       Cir.   2010)      (explaining          that     this     court

reviews de novo the district court’s “conclusion on the scope of

its legal authority under § 3582(c)(2)”); see also Dillon v.

United   States,       __    U.S.    __,     130    S.     Ct.   2683,      2690–92      (2010)

(clarifying that § 3582(c)(2) does not authorize a resentencing,

but rather permits a sentence reduction within the narrow bounds

established      by    the    Sentencing          Commission).           Accordingly,         we

affirm for the reasons stated by the district court.                               See United

States v. Thompson, No. 3:05–cr–00294–GCM-1 (W.D.N.C. Mar. 2,

2012).     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
