PER CURIAM:
Julius Brown appeals the district court’s order
denying his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2006) motion for reduction
of sentence. In his motion, Brown sought the benefit of
Amendments 591 and 599 of the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines.
Amendments 591 and 599 became effective on November 1, 2000, and
were incorporated into the 2000 version of the U.S. Sentencing
Guidelines Manual, pursuant to which Brown’s Guidelines range
was calculated. As such, he received the benefit of Amendments
591 and 599 at the time of sentencing in August 2001, and his
§ 3582(c)(2) motion was properly denied. Accordingly, we
affirm. 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
