    Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western
    District of Virginia, at Harrisonburg. James P. Jones, District

    Richard L. Fulton, Appellant Pro Se.     Ronald Mitchell Huber,
    Assistant United States Attorney, Charlottesville, Virginia, for
    Appellee.
    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
    PER CURIAM:
    Richard L. Fulton appeals from the district court’s
    order denying his 
    18 U.S.C. § 3582
     (2006) motion for reduction
    of   sentence    pursuant      to    Amendment    750      to    the     Sentencing
    Guidelines.          Because     Fulton’s    original       criminal       judgment
    specifically     found     him      responsible    for        over      twenty-five
    kilograms of crack cocaine, the district court correctly ruled
    that he is ineligible for a reduction in sentence.                         See U.S
    Sentencing Guidelines Manual § 2D1.1(c)(1) (2012).                     In addition,
    we   find     that     Fulton’s     allegations       of      procedural       error
    constitute, at most, harmless error.              Accordingly, we affirm.
    We   dispense   with    oral   argument     because     the     facts    and   legal
    contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the
    court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
    AFFIRMED
