Before HIGGINBOTHAM, SMITH, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

      Eddie Snell appeals from the district court’s order denying

his motion for a reduction of sentence pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §

court sentenced      Snell   and   does   not   relate   to   the   sentencing




      *
       Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion
should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited
circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4.
guidelines under which Snell was sentenced. The district court did

not abuse its discretion.1        AFFIRMED.
