PER CURIAM:
Terrance Backus appeals the district court’s orders denying
relief on his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2012) motion for reduction
of sentence based on amendments to the Sentencing Guidelines for
drug offenses and denying his motion for reconsideration. We
have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.
Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district
court. United States v. Backus, No. 1:08-cr-00128-MR-DLH-3
(W.D.N.C. Jan. 19, 2016; Feb. 12, 2016). We dispense with oral
argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately
presented in the materials before this court and argument would
not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
