v.

WILLIAM JACKIE PEARSON,

Defendant - Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of North Carolina, at Shelby. Lacy H. Thornburg, District Judge. (4:98-cr-00015-LHT-1)

Submitted: July 21, 2009 Decided: August 12, 2009

Before WILKINSON, NIEMEYER, and AGEE, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Aaron Edmund Michel, Charlotte, North Carolina, for Appellant. Amy Elizabeth Ray, Assistant United States Attorney, Asheville, North Carolina, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

William Jackie Pearson appeals the district court’s

order denying his motion for reduction of sentence, 18 U.S.C.

§ 3582(c)(2) (2006). We have reviewed the record and find no

reversible error. Accordingly, we deny the motion for

appointment of counsel and affirm for the reasons stated by the

district court. United States v. Pearson, No. 4:98-cr-00015-

LHT-1 (W.D.N.C. filed Mar. 26, 2009, entered Mar. 27, 2009). 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
