UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 08-7183

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff - Appellee,

v.

MAURICE DANIEL PATTON, a/k/a Fats,

Defendant - Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Norfolk. Jerome B. Friedman, District Judge. (2:03-cr-00148-JBF-JEB-1)

Submitted: November 20, 2008 Decided: December 1, 2008

Before MOTZ and GREGORY, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Maurice Daniel Patton, Appellant Pro Se. Laura Marie Everhart, Assistant United States Attorney, Norfolk, Virginia, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Maurice Daniel Patton appeals the district court’s

orders denying his motion for a reduction of sentence filed

pursuant to

(c)(2) (2006), and reconsideration

of that order. We have reviewed the record and find no

reversible error. Accordingly, we find the district court did

not abuse its discretion in denying the motion. See United

States v. Goines,

(4th Cir. 2004) (motion

under § 3582(c) “is subject to the discretion of the district

court”); United States v. Legree,

(4th Cir.

2000). Thus, we affirm the district court’s orders for the

reasons stated therein. See United States v. Patton, No. 2:03-

cr-00148-JBF-JEB-01 (E.D. Va. June 5 & June 24, 2008). We

further deny Patton’s request for transcripts at the

Government’s expense. 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
