IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

No. 01-60761 Conference Calendar

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee, versus BOBBY L. KING, Defendant-Appellant.

-------------------- Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Mississippi USDC No. 1:98-CR-47-18-D -------------------- August 20, 2002 Before HIGGINBOTHAM, DAVIS, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:* Bobby L. King appeals the district court’s denial of his motion to modify his sentence pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c).

Section 3582(c) permits the modification of an imposed sentence only in accordance with limited exceptions. See 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c). The district court did not err in determining that the statute provides King no basis for relief. King’s appeal is

* Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4.

No. 01-60761 -2- without arguable merit and is therefore dismissed as frivolous.

See Howard v. King, 707 F.2d 215, 220 (5th Cir. 1983); 5TH CIR. R. 42.2.

APPEAL DISMISSED.
