PER CURIAM:

          Timothy Leroy Nixon appeals the district court’s order

denying his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2006) motion for sentence

reduction and has made a motion to place his appeal in abeyance

pending   the   Supreme   Court’s   decision   in   United   States   v.

Alleyne, No. 11-9335. *    We have reviewed the record and find no

reversible error.    Accordingly, we deny Nixon’s motion to place

his appeal in abeyance and affirm the district court’s order.

United States v. Nixon, 5:08-cr-00008-RLV-DSC-1 (W.D.N.C. dated

Oct. 31, 2012; entered Nov. 1, 2012).          We dispense with oral

argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately

presented in the materials before this court and argument would

not aid the decisional process.

                                                               AFFIRMED




     *
       The question presented in Alleyne is whether Harris v.
United States, 

 (2002), should be overruled.
