PER CURIAM:
Alvin Truesdale appeals from the district court’s orders
granting his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2012) motion for reduction of
his sentence based on Amendment 782 to the U.S. Sentencing
Guidelines Manual, denying his motion for reconsideration of that
order and of the order denying an earlier § 3582(c)(2) motion, and
denying his motions for a hearing. We have reviewed the record
and find no reversible error.* Accordingly, we affirm for the
reasons stated by the district court. United States v. Truesdale,
No. 3:92-cr-00034-RLV-1 (W.D.N.C. Jan. 19, 2016 & Jul. 29, 2016).
We deny Truesdale’s motions for appointment of counsel and for
release on bail pending resolution of these appeal. We further
deny as moot his motion to include the district court’s amended
judgment in the record on appeal. We dispense with oral argument
because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented
in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
AFFIRMED
* To the extent that Truesdale sought reconsideration of the
orders addressing his § 3582(c)(2) motions, we note that a district
court has no authority to reconsider its decision on a sentence
reduction motion under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2). United States v.
Goodwyn, 596 F.3d 233, 234 (4th Cir. 2010).
