PER CURIAM:

             Harry Ramone Baptiste appeals a district court order

denying     his    motion    for    a    sentence     reduction      under       18   U.S.C.

§ 3582(c) (2006).          We affirm.          Because the amendment in question

did   not    lower     Baptiste’s         Guidelines     sentence,       we       find    the

district     did     not    abuse       its    discretion      denying      the       motion.

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

(stating     standard       of   review).           Accordingly,      we     affirm       the

district court’s order.             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

                                               2
