Young, Assistant United States Attorney, Richmond, Virginia, for
Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

            Lorenzo Deshon Stephens appeals the district court’s

order   denying    his   motion   for   reduction     of   sentence   under   18

U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2006).          Our review of the record convinces

us   that   the   district   court   did     not   abuse   its   discretion   in

denying Stephens a reduction of sentence on the basis of public

safety.     Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the

district court.       United States v. Stephens, No. 3:06-cr-00281-

HEH-1 (E.D. Va. Jan. 9, 2013).              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
