    Decided:

    February 25, 2009

    Before WILKINSON, DUNCAN, and AGEE, Circuit Judges.

    Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

    James Edward Brown, Appellant Pro Se.


    Elizabeth Jean Howard,
    Assistant United States Attorney, Greenville, South Carolina,
    for Appellee.

    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

    PER CURIAM:
    James Edward Brown appeals the district court order
    denying his motion to reconsider the order denying his motion to
    reduce his sentence under 18 U.S.C. 3582(c)(2) (2006).

    We

    have reviewed the record and Browns contentions on appeal and


    find the district court did not abuse its discretion denying the
    motion.

    See United States v. Goines, 357 F.3d 469, 478 (4th

    Cir. 2004).

    Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by

    the district court.

    See United States v. Brown, No. 8:97-cr-

    00170-GRA-4 (D.S.C. Sept. 19, 2008).


    proceed

    in

    forma

    pauperis.

    We

    We grant Browns motion to

    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
