ORDER
RICHARD H. KYLE, District Judge.
Defendant has filed a "Motion to Modify Sentence Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2). His only asserted ground in support of the Motion is that a reduction of his sentence "would immediately lessen the financial burden associated with maintaining his incarceration in these difficult economic times." As the Government aptly notes in its opposition to the Motion, "there simply is nothing in the text of 28 U.S.C. § 3582(c) that authorizes the Court to reduce a sentence on the grounds Wright has stated." The Court agrees.
Based on all the files, records and proceedings herein, IT IS ORDERED that Defendant's Motion (Doc. No. 190) is DENIED and the Court declines to issue a Certificate of Appealability.
