United States v. Samuel Holmes

UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 16-6635 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff - Appellee, v. SAMUEL RODNEY HOLMES, Defendant - Appellant. Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, at Aiken. Margaret B. Seymour, Senior District Judge. (1:05-cr-01253-MBS-1) Submitted: November 8, 2016 Decided: November 18, 2016 Before GREGORY, Chief Judge, and NIEMEYER and KING, Circuit Judges. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Samuel Rodney Holmes, Appellant Pro Se. Susan Zalkin Hitt, Assistant United States Attorney, Columbia, South Carolina, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Samuel Rodney Holmes appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for reconsideration of its earlier order granting him a sentence reduction under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2012). In the prior order, the district court reduced his sentence to the bottom of his amended Guidelines range. In his motion for reconsideration, Holmes sought a further reduction. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. See United States v. Holmes, No. 1:05-cr-01253-MBS-1 (D.S.C. Apr. 21, 2016; Nov. 24, 2015). 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 2
