James E. Downing, Appellant Pro Se. Rudolf A. Renfer, Jr., Assistant United States Attorney, Raleigh, North Carolina, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

James E. Downing appeals the district court’s order

denying relief on his motion for reduction of sentence pursuant

to

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

and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the

reasons stated by the district court. United States v. Downing,

No. 4:05-cr-00052-H-2 (E.D.N.C. Aug. 4, 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
