PER CURIAM:
James Louis Jones appeals the district court’s order
denying his motion for modification of his sentence. On appeal,
Jones abandons the claims raised below and asserts only grounds not
presented to the district court. Claims raised initially on appeal
are not entitled to appellate review. Muth v. United States, 1
F.3d 246, 250 (4th Cir. 1993). Accordingly, we affirm the order of
the district court. 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
