PER CURIAM:

Jose Antonio Nieves appeals the district court’s order 

denying Nieves’ motion to reconsider the court’s prior order 

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

reduction. As the district court was without authority to 

reconsider its ruling on Nieves’ § 3582(c)(2) motion, United 

States v. Goodwyn, 596 F.3d 233, 235-36 (4th Cir. 2010), we 

affirm the district court’s order denying relief on his motion 

for reconsideration. 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
