PER CURIAM:

James O. Jeter appeals the district court's order 

denying his motion for reduction of sentence under 18 U.S.C.

§ 3582(c)(2) (2006). We have reviewed the record and find no 

reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated 

by the district court. United States v. Jeter, No. 3:05-cr00081-JRS-1 (E.D. Va. April 29, 2009). In addition, we find the 

basis for the court’s decision is sufficiently clear to permit 

appellate review. See United States v. Carter, 564 F.3d 325, 

328 (4th Cir. 2009) (holding, on direct appeal, that sentencing 

court must demonstrate that it has considered the parties’ 

arguments and has a reasoned basis for exercising its 

discretion). Finally, we reject Jeter’s contention that United 

States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220 (2005), should have been applied 

to his case; we find that Booker has no relevance to Jeter’s 

proceeding. 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
