PER CURIAM:

Noel Umanzor Martel appeals the district court’s order 

denying his motion for modification of sentence. Once a 

sentence is imposed, the authority of a district court to modify 

it is strictly circumscribed. United States v. Addonizio, 442 

U.S. 178, 189 (1979); United States v. Jackson, 802 F.2d 712, 

716 (4th Cir. 1986). The district court had no such authority 

here, and we therefore affirm the denial of Martel’s motion for 

modification. 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
