Darrell L. Padgett, Appellant Pro Se. Michael Lee Keller, OFFICE OF
THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Charleston, West Virginia, for
Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

          Darrell L. Padgett appeals from the district court’s

adoption of the magistrate judge’s recommendation to deny Padgett’s

18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2000) motion for reduction of his sentence.

Padgett based his motion on Amendment 591 to the United States

Sentencing Guidelines. Because our review of the record shows that

application of Amendment 591 would not change the calculation of

Padgett’s sentence, we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis and

affirm the order of the district court.     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

                              - 2 -
