Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

           John Marquis Johnson appeals the district court’s text

order   denying     his   motion   for       a   reduction   of    his     sentence.

Johnson argues that he should be resentenced in light of this

Court’s decision in United States v. Simmons, 649 F.3d 237 (4th

Cir.    2011)    (en   banc).      However,        Johnson’s       claim    is    not

cognizable under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c) (2012).                      Accordingly, we

affirm the district court’s order denying relief.                        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
