    United
    States
    Appellee.

    Pro Se.
    Attorney,

    Laura Marie Everhart,


    Norfolk,
    Virginia,
    for

    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

    PER CURIAM:
    Dennis

    Harris

    appeals

    the

    district

    courts

    orders

    denying his motion for a reduction of sentence filed pursuant to


    18

    U.S.C.

    order.

    3582(c)(2)

    (2006),

    and

    reconsideration

    of

    that

    We have reviewed the record and find the district court

    did not abuse its discretion in denying the motions.

    See United

    States v. Goines, 357 F.3d 469, 478 (4th Cir. 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).

    Accordingly, we affirm the district courts orders for

    the reasons stated therein.

    See United States v. Harris, No.

    2:92-cr-00113-1 (E.D. Va. filed July 7, 2008, entered July 10,


    2008; filed Aug. 27, 2008, entered Aug. 28, 2008).

    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
