PER CURIAM:
Reginald Levi Avent appeals the district court’s order
denying his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2012) motion for a sentence
reduction pursuant to U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual, App. C.
Amend. 782 (2015). We have reviewed the record and find no
reversible error because Amendment 782 is not applicable to
sentences, such as Avent’s sentence, derived from the career
offender provisions in the Sentencing Guidelines. Accordingly,
we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. United
States v. Avent, No. 2:99-cr-00011-RAJ-1 (E.D. Va. Feb. 27,
2015). 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
