OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Columbia, South Carolina,
for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

           Darren    Bates   appeals       the   district     court’s       order

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

the record and find no reversible error.            Accordingly, we affirm

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

Bates,   No.   3:08-cr-00590-CMC-3        (D.S.C.   Apr.    3,     2012).     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
