PER CURIAM:

     Edward Kermit Richards, III, appeals the district court’s

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

for a sentence reduction pursuant to Amendments 782 and 794 to

the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual.               We have reviewed the

record and find no reversible error.             Specifically, both of the

Guidelines    Amendments      under   which    Richards    sought   a   sentence

reduction were in effect at the time of Richards’ February 2016

sentencing.     Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order.

See United States v. Richards, No. 1:14–cr–00385–CCB–1 (D. Md.

Oct. 21, 2016).         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
