PER CURIAM:

              Bernard King appeals a district court order denying

his motion for a sentence reduction under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)

(2006).    We affirm.       Because the amendment in question did not

lower Gore’s Guidelines sentence, we find the district did not

abuse   its    discretion   denying    the   motion.    United   States   v.

Goines, 357 F.3d 469, 478 (4th Cir.2004) (stating standard of

review).      Accordingly, 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
