Marcus Eugene Taylor, Appellant Pro Se. Eric Matthew Hurt, Lisa

Virginia, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Marcus Eugene Taylor appeals a district court order
denying his motion for a sentence reduction submitted under 18
U.S.C. § 3582(c) (2006). We have reviewed the record and the
district court’s order and find no abuse of discretion.
Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.
See United States v. Taylor, No. 4:05-cr-00009-WDK-JEB-28 (E.D.
Va., filed July 3, 2008; entered July 11, 2008). We note Taylor
was not entitled to a resentencing hearing or a sentence below
the Sentencing Guidelines. See United States v. Dunphy, 551
F.3d 247, (4th Cir. 2009) (“[A] district judge is not authorized
to reduce a defendant’s sentence below the amended guideline
range.”). 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
