Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

       Jose Juan Organes-Espino appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for

a sentence reduction under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2012), in which he sought the benefit

of Amendment 782, and the order denying his motion for reconsideration. The district

court correctly concluded that Organes-Espino is not eligible for a sentence reduction under

Amendment 782 and, therefore, did not abuse its discretion in denying the motions. See

United States v. Muldrow, 844 F.3d 434, 437 (4th Cir. 2016). Accordingly, we affirm.

United States v. Organes-Espino, No. 1:09-cr-00263-WO-1 (M.D.N.C. June 28, 2016 &

May 8, 2017). 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
