Johney Freeman, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:
Johney Freeman appeals the district court’s order denying his third motion for a
sentence reduction under
18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2012) based on Amendment 782 to the
United States Sentencing Guidelines. * “We review a district court’s decision to grant or
deny a sentence reduction motion under § 3582(c)(2) for abuse of discretion.” United
States v. Peters,
843 F.3d 572, 577(4th Cir. 2016). Because our review of the record
reveals no abuse of discretion, we 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
* Although a district court lacks authority to reconsider its ruling on a § 3582(c)(2) motion, United States v. Goodwyn,
596 F.3d 233, 235-36(4th Cir. 2010), “this prohibition [is] non-jurisdictional, and thus waived when the government failed to assert it below,” United States v. May,
855 F.3d 271, 274(4th Cir. 2017).
