PER CURIAM:

Timothy Brian Howell appeals the district court’s order 

granting his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2012) motion for reduction 

of sentence based on Amendment 782 to the U.S. Sentencing 

Guidelines. Howell claims that the district court did not 

adequately explain why it declined to order a larger sentence 

reduction pursuant to Amendment 782. Having reviewed the 

record, we find that the district court sufficiently explained 

its rationale for the sentence it imposed. We therefore 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
