PER CURIAM:
James Edward Thomas appeals from the district court’s
order denying his motion for 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. Thomas,
No. 3:97-cr-00299-MR-1 (W.D.N.C. Mar. 3, 2009). We deny Thomas’
motion for appointment of counsel and 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
