PER CURIAM:
Laron Griffin appeals from the district court’s order denying
his motion for reconsideration of the district court’s denial of
his motion for reduction of sentence based on his acceptance of
responsibility. The district court lacked authority to reduce
Griffin’s sentence on this basis. See 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c) (2000);
Fed. R. Crim. P. 35. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s
order denying Griffin’s motion. 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
