Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

            Nathaniel Watkins appeals the district court’s orders

denying his motion to reduce his sentence pursuant to 18 U.S.C.

§ 3582(c)(2) (2006), and his motion for reconsideration.                We

have     reviewed   the   record   and    find   no   reversible    error.

Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district

court.     United States v. Watkins, No. 1:90-cr-00260-CMH-2 (E.D.

Va. filed July 14, 2008 & entered July 15, 2008; Oct. 20, 2008);

see United States v. Dunphy, 551 F.3d 247, 251-53 (4th Cir.)

(rejecting defendant’s argument that United States v. Booker,

543 U.S. 220 (2005), should apply to § 3582 proceeding), cert.

denied, 129 S. Ct. 2401 (2009).          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
