PER CURIAM:

Michael James Taylor appeals the district court’s order 

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

§ 3582(c) (2012). We have reviewed the record and find no 

reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated 

by the district court. United States v. Taylor, No. 2:11-cr00022-MR-DLH-10 (W.D.N.C. Jan. 19, 2016). We deny Taylor’s 

motion to appoint counsel. 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
