UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 18-7333
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff - Appellee,
v.
TIMOTHY SMITH, a/k/a Little Boo,
Defendant - Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, at
Raleigh. James C. Dever III, District Judge. (5:12-cr-00220-D-2)
Submitted: January 22, 2019 Decided: January 25, 2019
Before MOTZ, KEENAN, and FLOYD, Circuit Judges.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Timothy Smith, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Timothy Smith appeals the district court’s order denying Smith’s 18 U.S.C.
§ 3582(c)(2) (2012) motion for sentence reduction based on Amendment 782 to the
United States Sentencing Guidelines. Based on our review of the record, we conclude
that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying the motion based on the
serious risk a reduction in Smith’s sentence would pose to public safety. See United
States v. Smalls, 720 F.3d 193, 195 (4th Cir. 2013) (“Whether to reduce a sentence and to
what extent is a matter within the district court’s discretion.”). Accordingly, we affirm
for the reasons stated by the district court. See United States v. Smith, No. 5:12-cr-
00220-D-2 (E.D.N.C. May 19, 2018). 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
