Willie Jerome Mackins, 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Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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:

             Willie   Mackins    appeals      the   district    court’s     order

denying his motion for a reduction of sentence pursuant to 18

U.S.C. § 3582(c) (2006).         We have reviewed the record and find

no reversible error.        Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons

stated by the district court.               United States v. Mackins, No.

3:97-cr-00022-LHT-4 (W.D.N.C. Apr. 14, 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
