PER CURIAM:

Johney Freeman appeals the district court’s orders denying 

his motion for a sentence reduction pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 

3582(c)(2) (2012), ruling on his two motions to reconsider, and 

denying his motion to unseal documents. We have reviewed the 

record and find no reversible error. United States v. Freeman, 

No. 2:88-cr-00076-AWA-2 (E.D. Va. Apr. 22, 2015; May 22, 2015; 

June 5, 2015; June 8, 2015); see United States v. Mann, 709 F.3d 

301, 304-05 (4th Cir. 2013) (reviewing the disposition of a 

§ 3582(c)(2) motion for an abuse of discretion); United States 

v. Goodwyn, 596 F.3d 233, 235-36 (4th Cir. 2010) (holding that 

the district court does not have authority to reconsider a prior 

order for a § 3582(c)(2) motion). Accordingly, we affirm the 

district court’s denial of relief. 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
