UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff - Appellee, v. ALVIN B. TRUESDALE, Defendant - Appellant.
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff - Appellee, v. ALVIN B. TRUESDALE, Defendant - Appellant.
Alvin Truesdale appeals from the district court's orders granting his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2012) motion for reduction of his sentence based on Amendment 782 to the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual, denying his motion for reconsideration of that order and of the order denying an earlier § 3582(c)(2) motion, and denying his motions for a hearing. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.* Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. United States v. Truesdale, No. 3:92-cr-00034-RLV-1 (W.D.N.C. Jan. 19, 2016 & Jul. 29, 2016). We deny Truesdale's motions for appointment of counsel and for release on bail pending resolution of these appeal. We further deny as moot his motion to include the district court's amended judgment in the record on appeal. 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
FOOTNOTES
FOOTNOTE. To the extent that Truesdale sought reconsideration of the orders addressing his § 3582(c)(2) motions, we note that a district court has no authority to reconsider its decision on a sentence reduction motion under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2). United States v.Goodwyn, 596 F.3d 233, 234 (4th Cir. 2010).
