Mancer L. Barrington, III, Appellant Pro Se. D. Monique
Broadnax, Cameron Rountree, Special Assistant United States
Attorneys, Norfolk, Virginia, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Mancer L. Barrington, III, appeals the district
court’s order denying his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2006) motion
for reduction in his sentence based on the Fair Sentencing Act
of 2010 (“FSA”). In January 2009, the district court sentenced
Barrington to life imprisonment for his conspiracy to distribute
and possess with intent to distribute cocaine and fifty grams or
more of crack cocaine. Barrington’s life sentence was
mandatory, pursuant to 21 U.S.C. § 841(b)(1)(A) (2006), because
of his two prior felony drug convictions.
Because the FSA does not apply retroactively to
offenders who were sentenced prior its August 3, 2010 enactment,
United States v. Bullard, 645 F.3d 237, 248 (4th Cir.), cert.
denied, 132 S. Ct. 356 (2011), the district court properly
determined that it lacked the authority to reduce Barrington’s
sentence under the FSA. Accordingly, we affirm the district
court’s order. See United States v. Barrington, No. 2:08-cr-
00004-RAJ-FBS (E.D. Va. filed Feb. 15, 2012 & entered Feb. 16,
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
