    This document summarizes a United States Court of Appeals case. A three-judge panel dismissed an appeal from Tarus Owens of a district court's denial of his motion to reduce his sentence under 18 U.S.C. 3582. The district court had construed the motion as being under 28 U.S.C. 2255. The appeals panel found no reversible error in the district court's reasoning for denying the motion. The panel denied a certificate of appealability and dismissed the appeal, agreeing with the district court's April 12, 2001 reasoning.

    UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS


    FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

    No. 01-6743

    UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,


    Plaintiff - Appellee,
    versus
    TARUS D. OWENS,
    Defendant - Appellant.

    Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Norfolk. Rebecca B. Smith, District Judge.
    (CR-97-150)

    Submitted:

    September 25, 2001

    Decided:

    November 5, 2001

    Before WILKINS, LUTTIG, and MOTZ, Circuit Judges.

    Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


    Tarus D. Owens, Appellant Pro Se.

    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.


    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    Tarus Owens appeals the district courts order denying his
    motion filed under 18 U.S.C.A. 3582 (West Supp. 2001) and construed as a 28 U.S.C.A. 2255 (West Supp. 2001) motion.

    We have

    reviewed the record and the district courts opinion and find no
    reversible error.

    Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appeal-

    ability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district


    court.

    See United States v. Owens, No. CR-97-150 (E.D. Va. Apr.

    12, 2001).

    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.

    DISMISSED
