PER CURIAM:
Jose Antonio Nieves appeals the district court’s order
denying Nieves’ motion to reconsider the court’s prior order
granting his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2012) motion for a sentence
reduction. As the district court was without authority to
reconsider its ruling on Nieves’ § 3582(c)(2) motion, United
States v. Goodwyn, 596 F.3d 233, 235-36 (4th Cir. 2010), we
affirm the district court’s order denying relief on his motion
for reconsideration. 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
