Carolina, for Appellant. Robert Frank Daley, Jr., Mark C. Moore,
Assistant United States Attorneys, Columbia, South Carolina, for
Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Napoleon Goodson, IV, appeals the district court’s
order granting his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2012) motion and
reducing his sentence by twelve months, and a subsequent order
denying reconsideration. Counsel has filed a brief pursuant to
Anders v. California,
386 U.S. 738 (1967), stating that there
are no meritorious issues for appeal and concluding that the
district court did not abuse its discretion in reducing
Goodson’s sentence by twelve months. Goodson has filed a pro se
supplemental brief challenging the denial of his motion to
reconsider the court’s order granting a reduction.
In accordance with Anders, we have reviewed the record
in this case and have found no meritorious issues for appeal or
reversible error. We therefore affirm the district court’s
orders for the reasons stated by the district court. United
States v. Goodson, No. 3:93-cr-00471-JFA-1 (D.S.C. Aug. 6, 16, &
22, 2013). This court requires that counsel inform Goodson, in
writing, of the right to petition the Supreme Court of the
United States for further review. If Goodson requests that a
petition be filed, but counsel believes that such a petition
would be frivolous, then counsel may move in this court for
leave to withdraw from representation. Counsel’s motion must
state that a copy thereof was served on Goodson. We dispense
with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are
2
adequately presented in the materials before this court and
argument would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
