    This document summarizes a United States Court of Appeals case from 2001. It states that Joyce Thompson appealed the denial of her motion to modify her term of imprisonment under 18 U.S.C. 3582(c)(2). The district court had denied the motion in a margin order, finding that while Thompson sought the benefit of an amendment to the Sentencing Guidelines, the amendment did not apply to her case because she was not originally sentenced under the Guidelines. The Court of Appeals affirmed the district court's denial of the motion to modify.

    Joyce Torian Thompson, Appellant Pro Se.
    North Carolina, for Appellee.

    Linda Kaye Teal, Cary,

    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.


    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    Joyce Thompson appeals the denial of her motion to modify a
    term of imprisonment pursuant to 18 U.S.C.A. 3582(c)(2) (West
    2000).

    The district court denied the motion by margin order dated

    May 12, 2001, and entered May 14, 2001.

    Therefore, we affirm the district courts denial of her motion to
    modify. 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
