PER CURIAM:
Ricky Lee Pierce appeals the district court’s order
denying his motion to reduce his sentence pursuant to 18 U.S.C.
§ 3582(c)(2) (2006). We have reviewed the record and find no
reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated
by the district court. United States v. Pierce, No. 4:05-cr-
00002-H-1 (E.D.N.C. Feb. 9, 2009). Pierce’s motions for
appointment of counsel and to hold his informal brief in
abeyance are denied. 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
