PER CURIAM:

            Leon   McDowell    appeals     the    district    court’s    order

denying his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2006) motion for a reduction

of his sentence based on Amendment 750 and Dorsey v. United

States, 

 (2012).            McDowell was sentenced before

the effective date of the Fair Sentencing Act.                Therefore, the

Act does not apply to his sentence.              See Dorsey, 132 S. Ct. at

2335.      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
