Submitted: April 24, 2014 Decided: May 2, 2014

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

LaShawn Demont Tinsley, Appellant Pro Se. Jane J. Jackson, Jennifer P. May-Parker, Assistant United States Attorneys, Raleigh, North Carolina, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

LaShawn Demont Tinsley appeals the district court’s

order denying his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2012) motion for a

sentence reduction pursuant to recent amendments to the

Sentencing Guidelines and the new statutory minimum sentences in

the Fair Sentencing Act (“FSA”). We have reviewed the record

and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the

district court’s order. United States v. Tinsley, No. 5:01-cr-

00143-BO-1 (E.D.N.C. filed Mar. 19 & entered Mar. 20, 2013); see

United States v. Black, 737 F.3d 280, 287 (4th Cir. 2013)

(holding that § 3582(c)(2) does not provide means to apply FSA

minimums), cert. denied, 2014 WL 956495 (2014). 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
