PER CURIAM:

Cruso R. Wallace appeals from the district court’s 

orders denying his 18 U.S.C. § 3582 (2006) motion for reduction 

of sentence and his motion for reconsideration. We have 

reviewed the record in this case and find no reversible error. 

Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district 

court. United States v. Wallace, No. 5:02-cr-00101-3 (S.D. W. 

Va. June 9 & July 31, 2009). In addition, we note that 

Wallace’s claims on appeal are barred by our decision in United 

States v. Dunphy, 551 F.3d 247, 251-52 (4th Cir.), cert. denied, 

129 S. Ct. 2401 (2009) (finding jurisdictional bar to reducing 

prison term below the amended Guidelines range). 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
