    appeals

    the

    district

    courts

    order

    denying her motion for a reduction of sentence filed pursuant to 18


    U.S.C. 3582(c)(2) (2000).
    no reversible error.

    We have reviewed the record and find

    Accordingly, we find the district court did

    not abuse its discretion in denying the motion.


    v.

    Goines,

    357

    F.3d

    469,

    478

    (4th

    Cir.

    See United States

    2004)

    (motion

    under

    3582(c) is subject to the discretion of the district court);


    United States v. Legree, 205 F.3d 724, 727 (4th Cir. 2000).

    Thus,

    we affirm the district courts order for the reasons stated there.
    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
