Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Maurice Daniel Patton, Appellant Pro Se. Laura Marie Everhart, Assistant United States Attorney, Norfolk, Virginia, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Maurice Daniel Patton appeals the district court’s

orders denying his motion for a reduction of sentence filed

pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2006), and reconsideration

of that order. We have reviewed the record and find no

reversible error. Accordingly, we find the district court did

not abuse its discretion in denying the motion. See United

States v. Goines, 357 F.3d 469, 478 (4th Cir. 2004) (motion

under § 3582(c) “is subject to the discretion of the district

court”); United States v. Legree, 205 F.3d 724, 727 (4th Cir.

2000). Thus, we affirm the district court’s orders for the

reasons stated therein. See United States v. Patton, No. 2:03-

cr-00148-JBF-JEB-01 (E.D. Va. June 5 & June 24, 2008). We

further deny Patton’s request for transcripts at the

Government’s expense. We dispense with oral argument because

the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the

materials before the court and argument would not aid the

decisional process.

AFFIRMED
