PER CURIAM:
Gerald Lamont Steele appeals the district court’s
order denying his motion for a sentence reduction under 18
U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2006). We have reviewed the record and
find no reversible error. See United States v. Hood, 556 F.3d
226, 232-33 (4th Cir. 2009). Accordingly, we affirm for the
reasons stated by the district court. United States v. Steele,
No. 3:01-cr-00216-MR-11 (W.D.N.C. Apr. 6, 2009). 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 in the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
