PER CURIAM:

James Edward Ellerbe appeals the district court’s 

order denying his motion for reduction of sentence pursuant to 

18 U.S.C. § 3582(c) (2006), and its subsequent order denying 

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. Ellerbe, No. 5:97-cr00100-BR-1 (E.D.N.C. Sept. 2, 2009; Dec. 9, 2009). We deny 

Ellerbe’s motion for appointment of counsel. We dispense with 

oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are 

adequately presented in the materials before the court and 

argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
