United States v. Jason McCright

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit
United States v. Jason McCright, 627 F. App'x 217 (4th Cir. 2015)

United States v. Jason McCright

Opinion

Affirmed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

In November 2014, Jason L. McCright filed an 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2012) motion for a sentence reduction. Because McCright was sentenced as a career offender, Amendment 782 to the Sentencing Guidelines, which reduced the offense levels applicable to drug offenses, did not have the effect of lowering his applicable Guidelines range. The district court therefore denied the motion. In' September 2015, McCright filed a second § 3582(c)(2) motion, again seeking the benefit of Amendment 782. The district court denied relief, and McCright now appeals.

As the district court correctly concluded that it lacked authority to grant a motion to reconsider its ruling on a § 3582(c)(2) motion, see United States v. Goodwyn, 596 F.3d 233, 235-36 (4th Cir. 2010), we affirm the district court’s order. We also deny McCright’s motion to appoint counsel. 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.
