United States v. Bernard King

UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 12-6317 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff - Appellee, v. BERNARD KING, a/k/a Shaborn, Defendant - Appellant. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Norfolk. Rebecca Beach Smith, Chief District Judge. (2:94-cr-00163-RBS-14) Submitted: May 24, 2012 Decided: May 31, 2012 Before MOTZ and DAVIS, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Bernard King, Appellant Pro Se. Laura Pellatiro Tayman, Assistant United States Attorney, Newport News, Virginia, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Bernard King 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 Gore’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
