PER CURIAM:
James Sims appeals the district court’s order denying
his motion for a reduction of sentence pursuant to 18 U.S.C.
§ 3582(c) (2006). We have reviewed the record and find no
reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated
by the district court. United States v. Sims, No. 7:02-cr-
00248-GRA-13 (D.S.C. Jan. 5, 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
*
We consider Sims’ notice of appeal to have been timely
filed. See Houston v. Lack, 487 U.S. 266, 276 (1988).
