PER CURIAM:
Leon McDowell appeals the district court’s order
denying his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2006) motion for a reduction
of his sentence based on Amendment 750 and Dorsey v. United
States, 132 S. Ct. 2321 (2012). McDowell was sentenced before
the effective date of the Fair Sentencing Act. Therefore, the
Act does not apply to his sentence. See Dorsey, 132 S. Ct. at
2335. 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
