PER CURIAM:

            Nathaniel Jerome Osborne appeals the district court’s

order granting his motion for reduction of sentence under 18

U.S.C. § 3582(c) (2006).      We have reviewed the record and find

no reversible error.      Accordingly, we affirm.          United States v.

Osborne, No. 2:95-cr-00139-HCM-1 (E.D. Va. filed Sept. 22, 2008

& entered Sept. 23, 2008); see United States v. Dunphy, 551 F.3d

247, 257 (4th Cir. 2009) (“[A] district judge is not authorized

to reduce a defendant’s sentence below the amended guideline

range.”).     We   deny   Osborne’s       motion   to   place   the   case   in

abeyance for Dunphy as moot.           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
