UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 13-6311
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff - Appellee,
v.
HASSANH BEY WRIGHT,
Defendant - Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of North Carolina, at Greenville. Louise W. Flanagan,
District Judge. (4:07-cr-00002-FL-1)
Submitted: April 15, 2014 Decided: May 12, 2014
Before KEENAN, WYNN, and DIAZ, Circuit Judges.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Hassanh Bey Wright, Appellant Pro Se. Jennifer P. May-Parker,
Assistant United States Attorney, Raleigh, North Carolina, for
Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Hassanh Bey Wright appeals the district court’s order
granting his motion for reduction of sentence, pursuant to 18
U.S.C. § 3582(c) (2012), and reducing his 144-month term of
imprisonment to 120 months. Wright argues that, under the Fair
Sentencing Act, he should have received the lowered statutory
minimum sentence of five years’ imprisonment. In light of our
decision in United States v. Black, 737 F.3d 280 (4th Cir. 2013)
(holding that “the statutory minimum sentences in the Fair
Sentencing Act do not apply to a defendant sentenced before the
Act’s effective date”), petition for cert. filed, ___ U.S.L.W.
___ (U.S. Mar. 6, 2014) (No. 13-9100), we conclude that the
district court did not abuse its discretion. Accordingly, we
affirm Wright’s sentence. We dispense with oral argument
because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented
in the materials before this Court and argument would not aid
the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
