Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

      Phillip   Ray    Jernigan,   Jr.,   appeals    the   district    court’s

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

sentence reduction pursuant to Amendment 782 to the Sentencing

Guidelines.      We have reviewed the record and find no abuse of

discretion.      See United States v. Muldrow, 844 F.3d 434, 437

(4th Cir. 2016) (providing standard).               Accordingly, we affirm

for the reasons stated by the district court.              United States v.

Jernigan, No. 2:12-cr-00142-RAJ-TEM-1 (E.D. Va. Nov. 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
