PER CURIAM:

Samuel Rodney Holmes appeals the district court’s order 

denying his motion for reconsideration of its earlier order 

granting him a sentence reduction under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) 

(2012). In the prior order, the district court reduced his 

sentence to the bottom of his amended Guidelines range. In his 

motion for reconsideration, Holmes sought a further reduction. We 

have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. 

Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district 

court. See United States v. Holmes, No. 1:05-cr-01253-MBS-1 

(D.S.C. Apr. 21, 2016; Nov. 24, 2015). 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
