PER CURIAM:

Jackie McKubbin appeals from the district court’s 

orders granting his 18 U.S.C. § 3582 (2006) motion, reducing his 

offense level by two levels, reducing his sentence from life 

imprisonment to 360 months, but denying his motion for 

reconsideration. McKubbin argues that he should receive a full 

resentencing in light of United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220 

(2005), applying the Sentencing Guidelines as advisory. This 

claim is without merit. See United States v. Dunphy, 551 F.3d 

247, 251-53 (4th Cir. 2009) (holding that “proceedings under 

§ 3582(c)(2) do not constitute a full resentencing of the 

defendant”), cert. denied, 129 S. Ct. 2401 (2009). We have 

reviewed the record in this case and find no abuse of discretion 

and no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district 

court’s orders. 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
