PER CURIAM:

            Herman   Lee    James,   Jr.,   appeals   an   order   of   the

district court which reduced his sentence from life imprisonment

to 360 months pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c) (2006).              We have

reviewed the record and find no reversible error.            Accordingly,

we affirm.     United States v. James, No. 2:99-cr-00198-1 (S.D.W.

Va. Jan. 9, 2009).         See United States v. Dunphy, 

(4th Cir. 2009), petition for cert. filed, Mar. 20, 2009 (No.

08-1185).     We deny James’ motion for appointment of counsel and

his untimely request for rehearing and rehearing en banc of his

direct appeal, which was decided in 2001.         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
