James Darren Taylor, 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Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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:
James Darren Taylor appeals the district court’s order
denying his motion for a reduction of sentence filed pursuant to
18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2006). We have reviewed the record and
find the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying
the motion. See United States v. Goines, 357 F.3d 469, 478 (4th
Cir. 2004) (motion under § 3582(c) “is subject to the discretion
of the district court”); United States v. Legree, 205 F.3d 724,
727 (4th Cir. 2000). The district court took into account the
appropriate factors and did not base its decision on an
erroneous legal or factual premise. See DIRECTV, Inc. v.
Rawlins, 523 F.3d 318, 323 (4th Cir. 2008) (defining abuse of
discretion). Thus, we affirm the district court’s order. 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
