United States v. Derrick Johnson

UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 11-7644 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff - Appellee, v. DERRICK JOHNSON, a/k/a Big D, Defendant - Appellant. Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, at Columbia. Cameron McGowan Currie, District Judge. (3:08-cr-00155-CMC-1) Submitted: February 16, 2012 Decided: February 23, 2012 Before SHEDD, KEENAN, and WYNN, Circuit Judges. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Derrick Johnson, Appellant Pro Se. Stacey Denise Haynes, Assistant United States Attorney, Columbia, South Carolina, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Derrick Johnson appeals a district court order denying his motion for a sentence reduction under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c) (2006). We affirm. Because the amendment in question did not lower Johnson’s Guidelines sentence, we find the district did not abuse its discretion denying the motion. 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 2
