PER CURIAM:

Gerald Felton appeals the district court’s order denying 

his motion to reconsider the district court’s denial of his 18 

U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2012) motion to reduce his sentence based 

on Amendment 782 to the Sentencing Guidelines. Because the 

district court lacked jurisdiction to consider Felton’s motion 

for reconsideration, we affirm the denial of relief. See United 

States v. Goodwyn, 596 F.3d 233, 234 (4th Cir. 2010) (holding 

that district court lacks authority to grant motion to 

reconsider ruling on § 3582(c)(2) motion). 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
