PER CURIAM:
Sherif Safwat Ezzat appeals the district court’s order
granting his motion for sentence reduction under 18 U.S.C. §
3582(c)(2) (2006), but denying his request for a reduction below
the range of imprisonment suggested by the reconfigured
guidelines as a result of Amendment 706 to the Sentencing
Guidelines. See U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual, App. C.
Amend. 706. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible
error. Accordingly, we affirm based on our recent decision in
United States v. Dunphy, 551 F.3d 247 (4th Cir. 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
