Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: Ellus Larous appeals the district court’s orders denying his motion filed under 18 U.S.C.A. § 3582 (West 2000) and his motion for reconsideration of that order. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s orders and find no reversible error. Accord- ingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. United States v. Larous, No. CR-98-7-FO (E.D.N.C. Aug. 1 & 31, 2000). 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
