PER CURIAM:

             Sherif Safwat Ezzat appeals the district court’s order

granting his motion for sentence reduction under 18 U.S.C. §

3582(c)(2) (2006), but denying his request for a reduction below

the   range    of        imprisonment     suggested    by    the     reconfigured

guidelines    as     a    result    of   Amendment    706   to    the   Sentencing

Guidelines.         See   U.S.     Sentencing   Guidelines       Manual,   App.   C.

Amend. 706.     We have reviewed the record and find no reversible

error.     Accordingly, we affirm based on our recent decision in

United States v. Dunphy, 551 F.3d 247 (4th Cir. 2009).                            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
