UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff – Appellee,

v.

TRAVIS DELL JONES,

Defendant - Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia, at Abingdon. James P. Jones, District Judge. (1:08-cr-00040-JPJ-1)

Submitted: October 19, 2015 Decided: November 24, 2015

Before WILKINSON and DIAZ, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Larry W. Shelton, Federal Public Defender, Brian J. Beck, Assistant Federal Public Defender, Abingdon, Virginia, for Appellant. Anthony P. Giorno, United States Attorney, Jean B. Hudson, Assistant United States Attorney, Charlottesville, Virginia, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Travis Dell Jones appeals the district court’s order

denying his

(c)(2) (2012) motion for a sentence

reduction. We generally review an order granting or denying a

§ 3582(c)(2) motion for abuse of discretion. See United

States v. Goines,

(4th Cir. 2004). We review

de novo, however, a district court’s determination of the scope

of its authority under § 3582(c)(2). United States v. Dunphy,

(4th Cir. 2009). We have thoroughly reviewed

the record and the relevant legal authorities and conclude that

the district court did not err in denying Jones’ motion for a

sentence reduction. We therefore affirm the district court’s

order. 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
