PER CURIAM:

            James Clayton Landingham appeals the district court’s

order   denying     his   motion      for   a    reduction    of   sentence    filed

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

record and find the district court did not abuse its discretion

in denying the motion.           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”); United States v. Legree,

205 F.3d 724, 727 (4th Cir. 2000).                Thus, we affirm the district

court’s     order   for   the      reasons       stated   there.      See     United

States v.     Landingham,       No.    4:02-cr-00274-CWH-3         (D.S.C.     filed

May 22, entered May 26, 2009).                  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
