PER CURIAM:

Nelson Rafael Zapata-Vicente appeals the district court’s 

order denying his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2012) motion for a 

sentence reduction. We have reviewed the record and find no 

reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm substantially* for the 

reasons stated by the district court. United States v. ZapataVicente, No. 3:01-cr-00061-JRS-1 (E.D. Va. Jan. 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

 * Although the district court mistakenly stated that ZapataVicente was held responsible for more than 450 kilograms of cocaine 

base, the record reveals that he was responsible for more than 450 

kilograms of cocaine. Because the district court correctly 

concluded that Zapata-Vicente’s Guidelines range remains unchanged 

under Amendment 782, we affirm the denial of relief.
