PER CURIAM:

            Jimmy Edwards, Jr., appeals from the district court’s

order denying his motion for a sentence departure under U.S.

Sentencing Guidelines Manual § 5H1.11 (2012).                  As Edwards was

sentenced in 2007, his motion is untimely.               In addition, to the

extent    Edwards   relies     upon   Amendment    739   to    the    Guidelines

(amending § 5H1.11 in 2010), this amendment has not been made

retroactively applicable.         See USSG § 1B1.10(c).          Accordingly,

we affirm.      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
