PER CURIAM:

Demetrius Darrell Whitehead appeals the district court’s 

order granting his motion for reduction of sentence, 18 U.S.C. 

§ 3582(c) (2012), and reducing his sentence from 188 months to 

162 months of imprisonment. We have reviewed the record and 

conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in 

declining to grant a greater reduction in Whitehead’s sentence. 

See United States v. Mann, 709 F.3d 301, 304 (4th Cir. 2013) 

(providing standard of review). Accordingly, we affirm for the 

reasons stated by the district court. United States v. 

Whitehead, No. 5:10-cr-00213-F-1 (E.D.N.C. Jan. 27, 2016). We 

deny Whitehead’s “motion for abuse of discretion,” 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
