District of Virginia, at Richmond. Robert E. Payne, Senior

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Thomas Lee Ashby, Jr., Appellant Pro Se. Brian R. Hood, OFFICE
OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Thomas Lee Ashby appeals a district court order
denying his motion for a sentence reduction under 18 U.S.C.
§ 3582(c) (2006). The court denied the motion because the
Guidelines amendments did not lower Ashby’s Guidelines sentence.
We conclude that the court did not abuse its discretion. United
States v. Goines, 357 F.3d 469, 478 (4th Cir. 2004) (stating
standard of review). Accordingly, 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
