Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

Victor Roman appeals the district court’s marginal order denying his motion for

reconsideration of the district court’s previous denial of his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2012)

motion for reduction of sentence. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible

error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court in its order denying

the § 3582(c)(2) motion. * United States v. Roman, No. 7:05-cr-00097-FL-20 (E.D.N.C.

Aug. 25, 2015). 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

*
While a district court lacks authority to reconsider a ruling on a § 3582(c)(2)
motion, “this prohibition [is] non-jurisdictional, and thus waived when the government
fail[s] to assert it below.” United States v. May, 855 F.3d 271, 274 (4th Cir. 2017). Here,
“[b]ecause the government failed to raise this non-jurisdictional limitation below, it is
waived on appeal.” Id. at 275.
