PER CURIAM:

             LaShawn   Demont   Tinsley      appeals   the   district   court’s

order denying his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2012) motion for a

sentence     reduction    pursuant      to    recent    amendments      to    the

Sentencing Guidelines and the new statutory minimum sentences in

the Fair Sentencing Act (“FSA”).              We have reviewed the record

and   find   no   reversible    error.        Accordingly,    we     affirm   the

district court’s order.         United States v. Tinsley, No. 5:01-cr-

00143-BO-1 (E.D.N.C. filed Mar. 19 & entered Mar. 20, 2013); see

United   States   v.   Black,    737   F.3d    280,    287   (4th    Cir.    2013)

(holding that § 3582(c)(2) does not provide means to apply FSA

minimums), cert. denied, 2014 WL 956495 (2014).                     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
