UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 08-6846 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff - Appellee, v. CLARENCE SHELDON JUPITER, a/k/a Star, Defendant - Appellant. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia, at Harrisonburg. Samuel G. Wilson, District Judge. (5:93-cr-00004-sgw-1) Submitted: October 28, 2008 Decided: November 17, 2008 Before NIEMEYER and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Clarence Sheldon Jupiter, Appellant Pro Se. Donald Ray Wolthuis, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Roanoke, Virginia, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Clarence Sheldon Jupiter appeals the district court=s orders denying his motion for sentence reduction pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2), and his motion for reconsideration of that denial. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error in the district court’s denial of Jupiter’s motion under Amendment 706 to the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines for a two-level offense level reduction because such a reduction would not reduce his Guidelines sentencing range. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. United States v. Jupiter, No. 5:93-cr-00004-sgw-1 (W.D. Va. May 8, 2008; June 13, 2008). * 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 * Jupiter may file a new § 3582(c) motion seeking a four-level reduction based on Amendments 505 and 706 to the Guidelines. We, of course, offer no opinion on what the disposition of such a motion should be. 2
