PER CURIAM:

             James Edward Thomas appeals from the district court’s

order denying his motion for reduction of sentence pursuant to

18 U.S.C. § 3582(c) (2006).           We have reviewed the record and

find   no    reversible   error.     Accordingly,    we   affirm   for   the

reasons stated by the district court.          United States v. Thomas,

No. 3:97-cr-00299-MR-1 (W.D.N.C. Mar. 3, 2009).           We deny Thomas’

motion      for   appointment   of   counsel   and   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
