PER CURIAM:

Travis Dell Jones appeals the district court’s order 

denying his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2012) motion for a sentence 

reduction. We generally review an order granting or denying a 

§ 3582(c)(2) motion for abuse of discretion. See United 

States v. Goines, 357 F.3d 469, 478 (4th Cir. 2004). We review

de novo, however, a district court’s determination of the scope 

of its authority under § 3582(c)(2). United States v. Dunphy, 

551 F.3d 247, 250 (4th Cir. 2009). We have thoroughly reviewed 

the record and the relevant legal authorities and conclude that 

the district court did not err in denying Jones’ motion for a 

sentence reduction. We therefore affirm the district court’s 

order. 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
