PER CURIAM:

            William Lamont Slate appeals a district court order

denying    his   18   U.S.C.   § 3582(c)(1)(B)    (2012)      motion   and   his

petition for a writ of mandamus.            We have reviewed the record

and the district court’s order and affirm for the reasons of the

district court.       United States v. Slate, No. 4:97-cr-00041-RBS-2

(E.D. Va. Feb. 5, 2014).        We deny Slate’s motion for appointment

of counsel.      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
