UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff - Appellee,

v.

MICHAEL EDWARD JONES,

Defendant - Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of North Carolina, at Charlotte. Graham C. Mullen, Senior District Judge. (3:96-cr-00123-chh-1)

Submitted: December 15, 2009 Decided: December 22, 2009

Before MICHAEL and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Michael Edward Jones, Appellant Pro Se. Amy Elizabeth Ray, Assistant United States Attorney, Asheville, North Carolina, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Michael Edward Jones appeals a district court order

denying his motion for a reduction of his sentence under

(c)(2) (2006). The district court concluded Jones

was not entitled to a reduction because after considering

Amendment 706 of the Sentencing Guidelines, his Guidelines range

of imprisonment remained the same. We have reviewed the record

and find no error. Accordingly, we affirm. 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
