PER CURIAM:
Bernard King appeals a district court order denying
his motion for a sentence reduction under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)
(2006). We affirm. Because the amendment in question did not
lower Gore’s Guidelines sentence, we find the district did not
abuse its discretion denying the motion. United States v.
Goines, 357 F.3d 469, 478 (4th Cir.2004) (stating standard of
review). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. 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
