PER CURIAM:
Darryl Antonio Wright appeals the district court’s order construing his sentence
reduction motion as a motion for compassionate release under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A)(i)
and dismissing it without prejudice for failure to exhaust administrative remedies. Wright
also appeals the court’s order denying his motion for reconsideration. The record discloses
that Wright filed his motion pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2), which does not require
exhaustion, and sought relief based upon U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual § 4A1.1.
Accordingly, we vacate the district court’s orders and remand with instructions to consider
Wright’s motion under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2). 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.
VACATED AND REMANDED
