PER CURIAM:

             Jonathan     Hough     appeals      the    district    court’s       order

denying his motion to reconsider the court’s previous denial of

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

reduction.      We have reviewed the record and find no reversible

error.      See United States v. Goodwyn, 596 F.3d 233, 235-36 (4th

Cir. 2010) (holding that district court does not have authority

to reconsider prior order on § 3582 motion).                       Accordingly, we

affirm the district court’s denial of 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

                                           2
