UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Terveus HYPPOLITE, Defendant-Appellant.
Terveus Hyppolite appeals the district court's order denying his motion for reconsideration of the court's prior orders denying relief on his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2012) motion. We conclude that the court did not abuse its discretion in denying the motion because Hyppolite's Sentencing Guidelines range remains 360 months’ to life imprisonment after application of the retroactive drug amendments due to his status as a career offender. See United States v. Muldrow, 844 F.3d 434, 437 (4th Cir. 2016) (stating standard). Accordingly, we affirm the district court's judgment. United States v. Hyppolite, No. 4:93-cr-00040-H-2 (E.D.N.C. Aug. 21, 2017). We deny Hyppolite's motion for appointment of counsel and to vacate and remand and grant his motion to strike his motion to stay the informal briefing schedule. 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.
