                  UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
                      FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

                             No. 12-6196

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

          Lewis    Mercado       appeals    the    district      court’s     order

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

§ 3582(c)(2)      (2006)        and    a    subsequent        order        denying

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. Mercado, No. 3:96-cr-

00165-2 (S.D.W. Va. Dec. 28, 2011; Jan. 26, 2012).                  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

     *
       The district court did not have authority to grant the
motion to reconsider, because a motion to reconsider is not a
proper vehicle to seek review of a ruling on a § 3582 motion.
United States v. Goodwyn, 596 F.3d 233, 235-36 (4th Cir. 2010).
