Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM: Thomas Nelson Connor appeals the district court’s order denying his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2006) motion. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny Connor’s motion for appointment of counsel and affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. United States v. Connor, No. 5:01-cr-00008-RLV-9 (W.D.N.C. July 30, 2008). See United States v. Hood, ___ F.3d ___, 2009 WL 416979 (4th Cir. 2009). 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
