PER CURIAM:*

Grayland Arthur Arnold, federal prisoner #06584-078, appeals

the district court’s denial of his motion for downward departure

pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c). Arnold has failed to show that

relief under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A)(i) or (c)(2) is available

Bureau of Prisons, and he has not alleged any amendment to or

* 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. 01-41210 -2-

modification of the sentencing guidelines in effect when he was

sentenced. See 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A)(i) & (c)(2).

See Howard v. King, 707 F.2d 215, 219-20 (5th Cir. 1983).

Accordingly, it is DISMISSED. See 5TH CIR. R. 42.2.

APPEAL DISMISSED.
