PER CURIAM:

             Thomas       John    Majeed      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 Majeed’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   deny       Majeed’s   motion     for       a    stay      pending

appeal.      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
