UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff - Appellee,

v.

JAMES CLAYTON LANDINGHAM,

Defendant - Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, at Florence. C. Weston Houck, Senior District Judge. (4:02-cr-00274-CWH-3)

Submitted: November 19, 2009 Decided: December 2, 2009

Before MOTZ, GREGORY, and SHEDD, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

James Clayton Landingham, Appellant Pro Se. Rose Mary Sheppard Parham, Assistant United States Attorney, Florence, South Carolina, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

James Clayton Landingham appeals the district court’s

order denying his motion for a reduction of sentence filed

pursuant to

(c)(2) (2006). We have reviewed the

record and 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 order for the reasons stated there. See United

States v. Landingham, No. 4:02-cr-00274-CWH-3 (D.S.C. filed

May 22, entered May 26, 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
