UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 02-6499
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff - Appellee,
versus
CHARLES ANTHONY BENNETT, a/k/a Tony,
Defendant - Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of
South Carolina, at Charleston. Patrick Michael Duffy, District
Judge. (CR-98-599)
Submitted: July 24, 2002 Decided: August 1, 2002
Before LUTTIG, KING, and GREGORY, Circuit Judges.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Charles Anthony Bennett, Appellant Pro Se. Sean Kittrell, OFFICE
OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Charleston, South Carolina, for
Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Charles Anthony Bennett pleaded guilty to violations of 18
U.S.C.A. §§ 922(u), 922(g)(1), and 922(j) (West 2000). He
initially was sentenced to ninety-seven months in prison. Upon the
Government’s motion, the district court reduced Bennett’s sentence
to sixty months. Bennett now appeals the district court’s order
denying his motion for reduction of sentence, in which Bennett
claimed he was entitled to a further reduction of his sentence
under U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Amendment 599.
Commentary to Amendment 599 makes clear that the amendment
applies only to convictions under 18 U.S.C.A. § 924(c) (West 2000).
Bennett was not convicted of violating that statute. Therefore,
the district court properly denied the motion for reduction of
sentence, and we affirm. We dispense with oral argument because
the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the
materials before us and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
AFFIRMED
