PER CURIAM:

               Edgar Nelson Pitts appeals the district court’s order

granting his motion for sentence reduction pursuant to 18 U.S.C.

§   3582(c)(2)     (2006).        On     appeal,      Pitts     contends   that     he   is

actually       innocent    of    his     drug       convictions.         However,    this

challenge to his convictions cannot be remedied by way of a

§ 3582   motion.          Accordingly,         we    affirm   the   district      court’s

order.     See     United    States       v.       Pitts,   No.   6:94-cr-70068-JCT-2

(W.D.    Va.    Oct.   18,      2011).         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

                                               2
