PER CURIAM:
John Paul Smith appeals the district court’s order granting him a sentence
reduction pursuant to his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2012) motion based on Amendment
782. On appeal, Smith argues the district court erred in not appointing him counsel and
conducting a hearing based on Amendment 657, and in its finding of actual oxycodone
for which he was accountable. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.
Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. See United States v.
Smith, No. 3:02-cr-00064-GMG-7 (N.D.W. Va. Aug. 14, 2017). 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
