UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 09-7760 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff - Appellee, v. MICHAEL EDWARD JONES, Defendant - Appellant. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of North Carolina, at Charlotte. Graham C. Mullen, Senior District Judge. (3:96-cr-00123-chh-1) Submitted: December 15, 2009 Decided: December 22, 2009 Before MICHAEL and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Michael Edward Jones, Appellant Pro Se. Amy Elizabeth Ray, Assistant United States Attorney, Asheville, North Carolina, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Michael Edward Jones appeals a district court order denying his motion for a reduction of his sentence under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2006). The district court concluded Jones was not entitled to a reduction because after considering Amendment 706 of the Sentencing Guidelines, his Guidelines range of imprisonment remained the same. We have reviewed the record and find no error. Accordingly, we affirm. 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
