PER CURIAM:

Latwon James appeals the district court’s order denying his 

18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2012) motion seeking a sentence reduction 

under Amendment 782. After reviewing the record, we conclude that 

the court did not abuse its discretion in denying the motion. See

United States v. Mann, 709 F.3d 301, 304-05 (4th Cir. 2013) 

(reviewing disposition of § 3582(c)(2) motion for abuse of 

discretion). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s 

judgment. 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
