PER CURIAM:
Jason Conrad Poole appeals the district court’s order
denying relief on his motions under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West
Supp. 2010) and Fed. R. Crim. P. 36 and granting his motion to
reduce sentence under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2006). We have
reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly,
we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court in its
written order. United States v. Poole, Nos. 8:96-cr-00238-AW-1;
8:09-cv-01440-AW (D. Md. Dec. 4, 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 note the discrepancy between the oral sentence of 210
months and the revised order granting Poole’s § 3582(c)(2)
motion which imposes the mandatory minimum sentence of 240
months. We find the oral sentence ambiguous because its plain
meaning would lead to “an irrational or abused result.” United
States v. Villano, 816 F.2d 1448, 1453 n.6 (10th Cir. 1987) (en
banc). Therefore, we affirm the written sentencing order.
