PER CURIAM:
Terveus Hyppolite appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for
reconsideration of the court’s prior orders denying relief on his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2)
(2012) motion. We conclude that the court did not abuse its discretion in denying the
motion because Hyppolite’s Sentencing Guidelines range remains 360 months’ to life
imprisonment after application of the retroactive drug amendments due to his status as a
career offender. See United States v. Muldrow, 844 F.3d 434, 437 (4th Cir. 2016) (stating
standard). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s judgment. United States v.
Hyppolite, No. 4:93-cr-00040-H-2 (E.D.N.C. Aug. 21, 2017). We deny Hyppolite’s
motion for appointment of counsel and to vacate and remand and grant his motion to strike
his motion to stay the informal briefing schedule. 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
