Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

               Darrell    Lemane    Wilson       appeals    the   district        court’s

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

sentence reduction.          We have reviewed the record and find no

reversible error.         We have repeatedly rejected claims similar to

those advanced by Wilson that the sentencing disparity between

powder cocaine and crack cocaine violates the Equal Protection

Clause.    See, e.g., United States v. Bullard, 645 F.3d 237, 245-

46 (4th Cir. 2011).              The Supreme Court’s holding in Dorsey v.

United    States,    132    S.     Ct.    2321    (2012),      does     not   alter     our

analysis of Wilson’s claim.                See United States v. Black, 737

F.3d 280, 287 (4th Cir. 2013), cert. denied, __S. Ct.__, 2014 WL

956495    (U.S.    Apr.    21,    2014)    (No.    13-9100).           Accordingly,      we

affirm for the reasons stated by the district court.                               United

States    v.    Wilson,    No.     4:08-cr-00041-JLK-1          (W.D.     Va.    Dec.    5,

2013).     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
