Kunta Kenta Redd, Appellant Pro Se.     Michael Gordon James,
OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Raleigh, North Carolina,
for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

      Kunta Kenta Redd appeals from the district court’s order

denying his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2012) motion to reduce his

sentence.     A district court’s decision on whether to reduce a

sentence under § 3582(c)(2) is reviewed for abuse of discretion,

while its conclusion on the scope of its legal authority under

that provision is reviewed de novo.                   United States v. Munn,

595 F.3d 183
, 186 (4th Cir. 2010).

      Our review of the record reveals that the district court

did   not    abuse     its   discretion       in   denying     Redd’s      motion.

See United    States    v.   Smalls,    
720 F.3d 193
  (4th   Cir.    2013).

Accordingly,    we   affirm    the     district    court’s    order.        United

States v. Redd, No. 7:08-cr-00043-D-1 (E.D.N.C. Aug. 8, 2014).

We deny Redd’s motion to appoint counsel and 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
