United States v. Lewis Mercado

UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 12-6196 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff - Appellee, v. LEWIS MERCADO, a/k/a Hector Mercado, Defendant - Appellant. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia, at Huntington. Robert C. Chambers, District Judge. (3:96-cr-00165-2) Submitted: June 21, 2012 Decided: June 25, 2012 Before GREGORY, SHEDD, and DAVIS, Circuit Judges. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Lewis Mercado, Appellant Pro Se. Monica D. Coleman, John J. Frail, Steven Loew, Assistant United States Attorneys, Charleston, West Virginia, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Lewis Mercado appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for reduction of sentence under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2006) and a subsequent order denying reconsideration. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. * Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. United States v. Mercado, No. 3:96-cr- 00165-2 (S.D.W. Va. Dec. 28, 2011; Jan. 26, 2012). 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 * The district court did not have authority to grant the motion to reconsider, because a motion to reconsider is not a proper vehicle to seek review of a ruling on a § 3582 motion. United States v. Goodwyn, 596 F.3d 233, 235-36 (4th Cir. 2010). 2
