PER CURIAM:

            James Darren Taylor appeals the district court’s order

granting his motion for a sentence reduction filed pursuant to

18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2006).               We have reviewed the record and

conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion by

not   considering       the    current   statutory    sentence     for    Taylor’s

offense.       See United States v. Goines, 357 F.3d 469, 478 (4th

Cir. 2004) (motion under § 3582(c) “is subject to the discretion

of the district court”).           Thus, we affirm the district court’s

order.     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
