PER CURIAM:

Sylvester Kelly appeals the district court’s order 

denying his motion to reconsider the court’s earlier order 

ruling on his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2006) motion for a 

reduction in sentence. We have reviewed the record and find no 

reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm. See United States v. 

Goodwyn, 596 F.3d 233, 234-46 (4th Cir. 2010) (holding that 

district court lacked authority to grant defendant’s motion to 

reconsider, filed eight months after the district court’s order 

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