PER CURIAM:

Terrance Backus appeals the district court’s orders denying 

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

of sentence based on amendments to the Sentencing Guidelines for 

drug offenses and denying his motion for reconsideration. We 

have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. 

Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district 

court. United States v. Backus, No. 1:08-cr-00128-MR-DLH-3 

(W.D.N.C. Jan. 19, 2016; Feb. 12, 2016). 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
