PER CURIAM:

John Hamilton appeals the district court’s order denying 

his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2012) motion for a sentence 

reduction. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible 

error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the 

district court. United States v. Hamilton, No. 1:95-cr-00174-1 

(S.D.W. Va. Nov. 6, 2015). We deny Hamilton’s motion to appoint 

counsel and 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
