UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 08-8371
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff - Appellee,
v.
CLARENCE EASTER, a/k/a CJ,
Defendant - Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of Virginia, at Richmond. James R. Spencer, Chief
District Judge. (3:01-cr-00304-JRS-5)
Submitted: March 25, 2010 Decided: April 7, 2010
Before WILKINSON, MOTZ, and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Clarence Easter, Appellant Pro Se. Peter Sinclair Duffey,
Assistant United States Attorney, Richmond, Virginia, for
Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Clarence Easter appeals the district court’s order
granting his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2006) motion for reduction
of sentence and asserts that he should have received the
specific reduction he sought. We have reviewed the record and
find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm. See U.S.
Sentencing Guidelines Manual § 1B1.10, p.s. (“The authorization
of such a discretionary reduction . . . does not entitle a
defendant to a reduced term of imprisonment as a matter of
right.”); see also United States v. Stewart, 595 F.3d 197, 204
(4th Cir. 2010) (declining to determine that defendant was
automatically entitled to a specific sentence reduction and
noting that discretion to evaluate the policy and circumstances
is vested in the district court). 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
