PER CURIAM:

            Thomas     Nelson    Connor       appeals   the   district       court’s

order denying his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2006) motion.                     We have

reviewed the record and find no reversible error.                     Accordingly,

we deny Connor’s motion for appointment of counsel and affirm

for the reasons stated by the district court.                     United States v.

Connor, No. 5:01-cr-00008-RLV-9 (W.D.N.C. July 30, 2008).                        See

United States v. Hood, ___ F.3d ___, 

 (4th Cir.

2009).     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
