PER CURIAM:

            Lashon    Maurice   Gaither     appeals    the       district      court’s

order denying his motion for reduction of sentence pursuant to

18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2006).           We have reviewed the record and

find   no   reversible      error.      Accordingly,        we    affirm    for    the

reasons stated by the district court.           United States v. Gaither,

No.    5:05-cr-00009-RLV-DCK-10         (W.D.N.C.     Feb.        27,    2009);    see

United States v. Hood, 

, 232-36 (4th Cir. 2009),

cert. denied, __ U.S. __, 

 (U.S. Oct. 5, 2009)

(No. 09-5868).       We deny Gaither’s motion to appoint counsel and

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
