PER CURIAM:
Nelson Rafael Zapata-Vicente appeals the district court’s
order denying his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2012) motion for a
sentence reduction. We have reviewed the record and find no
reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm substantially* for the
reasons stated by the district court. United States v. Zapata-
Vicente, No. 3:01-cr-00061-JRS-1 (E.D. Va. Jan. 12, 2016). 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
* Although the district court mistakenly stated that Zapata-
Vicente was held responsible for more than 450 kilograms of cocaine
base, the record reveals that he was responsible for more than 450
kilograms of cocaine. Because the district court correctly
concluded that Zapata-Vicente’s Guidelines range remains unchanged
under Amendment 782, we affirm the denial of relief.
