PER CURIAM:

      Timothy   Brian    Howell   appeals     the    district     court’s     order

granting his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2012) motion for reduction

of   sentence   based     on   Amendment    782     to   the   U.S.   Sentencing

Guidelines.      Howell    claims   that     the    district      court   did   not

adequately explain why it declined to order a larger sentence

reduction     pursuant    to   Amendment     782.        Having    reviewed     the

record, we find that the district court sufficiently explained

its rationale for the sentence it imposed.                We therefore affirm

the district court’s judgment.             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
