PER CURIAM:

            Melvin       Ford,      Norman       Brown,   Paul     Winestock,       Jr.,

Michael    Smith,       Jeffrey     Reid,        and   Walter     Smith    appeal    the

district court’s order denying their motion for reduction of

sentence under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c) (2006).                      We have reviewed the

record    and    find   no   reversible          error.    See    United    States    v.

Dunphy, 551 F.3d 247 (4th Cir. 2009).                     Accordingly, we affirm

the district court’s order for the reasons stated by the court.

United States v. Brown, No. 1:90-cr-00454-WMN (D. Md. Oct. 6,

2008).          We   also    deny     appellant        Winestock’s        motions    for

appointment of counsel and for judicial notice.                            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
