PER CURIAM:
Ezau Yanez-Hernandez appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his 18
U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2012) motion for a sentence reduction. We have reviewed the
record and find no reversible error. See United States v. Muldrow, 844 F.3d 434, 437
(4th Cir. 2016) (providing standard). Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by
the district court. United States v. Yanez-Hernandez, No. 7:08-cr-00106-D-1 (E.D.N.C.
filed May 9, 2017; entered May 10, 2017). We further deny Yanez-Hernandez’s motion
to appoint counsel.* 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
* Although the Office of the Federal Public Defender has filed an informal brief on
behalf of Yanez-Hernandez, it does not seek appointment as counsel on appeal.
