UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 15-7566

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff - Appellee,

v.

REGINALD LEVI AVENT,

Defendant - Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Norfolk. Raymond A. Jackson, District Judge. (2:99-cr-00011-RAJ-1)

Submitted: February 5, 2016 Decided: February 25, 2016

Before KEENAN and HARRIS, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Reginald Levi Avent, Appellant Pro Se. Dana James Boente, Acting United States Attorney, Kevin Michael Comstock, Assistant United States Attorney, Norfolk, Virginia, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Reginald Levi Avent appeals the district court’s order

denying his

18 U.S.C. § 3582

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

reduction pursuant to U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual, App. C.

Amend. 782 (2015). We have reviewed the record and find no

reversible error because Amendment 782 is not applicable to

sentences, such as Avent’s sentence, derived from the career

offender provisions in the Sentencing Guidelines. Accordingly,

we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. United

States v. Avent, No. 2:99-cr-00011-RAJ-1 (E.D. Va. Feb. 27,

2015). 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
