John Richard Proctor, Appellant Pro Se. Barbara Slaymaker Sale,
Assistant United States Attorney, Baltimore, Maryland, for
Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
John Richard Proctor appeals from the district court’s
order granting his motion for reduction of sentence pursuant to
18 U.S.C. § 3582(c) (2006), and reducing his sentence from 324
months to 292 months. He contends that the court erred by only
reducing his offense level by one, instead of the two authorized
by the amendment to the Guidelines.
We have reviewed the record and find no abuse of
discretion. The district court, upon determining that a
reduction was warranted, appropriately applied the Guidelines as
amended and sentenced Proctor under the career offender
Guideline, as provided in this court’s prior opinion. We
therefore 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
