PER CURIAM:
Travis Dell Jones appeals the district court’s order
denying his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2012) motion for a sentence
reduction. We generally review an order granting or denying a
§ 3582(c)(2) motion for abuse of discretion. See United
States v. Goines, 357 F.3d 469, 478 (4th Cir. 2004). We review
de novo, however, a district court’s determination of the scope
of its authority under § 3582(c)(2). United States v. Dunphy,
551 F.3d 247, 250 (4th Cir. 2009). We have thoroughly reviewed
the record and the relevant legal authorities and conclude that
the district court did not err in denying Jones’ motion for a
sentence reduction. We therefore affirm the district court’s
order. 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
