PER CURIAM:
Anson Diaz Lawrence appeals the district court’s order
denying his motion for reduction of sentence under 18 U.S.C.
§ 3582(c)(2) (2006). We have reviewed the record and find the
district court did not abuse its discretion in denying the
motion. See United States v. Goines, 357 F.3d 469, 478 (4th
Cir. 2004) (motion under § 3582(c) “is subject to the discretion
of the district court”); United States v. Legree, 205 F.3d 724,
727 (4th Cir. 2000). Thus, we affirm the district court’s order
for the reasons stated there. See United States v. Lawrence,
No. 2:00-cr-00052-HCM-1 (E.D. Va. June 24, 2008). 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
