PER CURIAM:

Sheldon Moore appeals from the district court’s order 

granting the Government’s Fed. R. Crim. P. 35(b) motion and 

reducing Moore’s term of imprisonment from 144 to 108 months and 

denying Moore’s motion for reconsideration. On appeal, Moore 

challenges the extent of the district court’s departure, which 

this court has no jurisdiction to consider, absent circumstances 

not here alleged. See United States v. Hill, 70 F.3d 321, 324 

(4th Cir. 1995). Accordingly, we deny Moore’s motions for 

appointment of counsel and for transcripts of the plea and 

sentencing hearings, and dismiss the appeal. 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.

DISMISSED
