PER CURIAM:
Phillip Ray Jernigan, Jr., appeals the district court’s
order denying his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2012) motion for a
sentence reduction pursuant to Amendment 782 to the Sentencing
Guidelines. We have reviewed the record and find no abuse of
discretion. See United States v. Muldrow, 844 F.3d 434, 437
(4th Cir. 2016) (providing standard). Accordingly, we affirm
for the reasons stated by the district court. United States v.
Jernigan, No. 2:12-cr-00142-RAJ-TEM-1 (E.D. Va. Nov. 21, 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
