No. 12-8138

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff – Appellee,

v.

WILLIAM JOHNSTON,

Defendant - Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of North Carolina, at Charlotte. Graham C. Mullen, Senior District Judge. (3:00-cr-00135-GCM-1)

Submitted: February 21, 2013 Decided: March 6, 2013

Before AGEE and DAVIS, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

William Johnston, Appellant Pro Se. Robert John Gleason, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Charlotte, North Carolina; Amy Elizabeth Ray, Assistant United States Attorney, Asheville, North Carolina, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

William Johnston appeals the district court’s order

denying his

(c)(2) (2006) motion for a sentence

reduction. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible

error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the

district court. United States v. Johnston, No. 3:00-cr-00135-

GCM-1 (W.D.N.C. Nov. 15, 2012). We deny as unnecessary

Johnston’s motion for a certificate of appealability. We

dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal

contentions are adequately presented in the materials before

this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
