Richy Orlando Nichols, Appellant Pro Se. Randall Stuart Galyon, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Robert Michael Hamilton, Assistant United States Attorney, Greensboro, North Carolina, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Richy Orlando Nichols appeals the district court’s

order denying his

(c)(2) (2006) motion for

reduction of sentence. We have reviewed the record and find no

reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated

by the district court. United States v. Nichols, No.

1:04-cr-00424-1 (M.D.N.C. July 15, 2013). We deny the motion

for appointment of counsel and 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
