    PER CURIAM:
    Joe Lewis Blackwell, Jr., appeals the district courts
    order denying his motion for reduction of sentence pursuant to
    18 U.S.C. 3582(c) (2012).

    We have reviewed the record and

    find no abuse of discretion by the district court.

    Accordingly,

    we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court.

    United

    States v. Blackwell, No. 2:96-cr-00109-JAB-1 (M.D.N.C. July 16,


    2013).

    We deny Blackwells motion for appointment of counsel,

    and we dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal
    contentions

    are

    adequately

    presented

    in

    the

    materials

    before

    this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

    AFFIRMED
