PER CURIAM:

Michael Paul Haymond appeals from the district court’s order granting a two-level sentence reduction and denying a further sentence reduction pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(e) (2006). We have reviewed the record and the district court’s order and find no abuse of discretion. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See United States v. Haymond, No. 3:05-cr-00013-JPB-S (N.D.W.Va., May 28, 2008). We note Haymond was not entitled to a resentencing hearing- or a sentence below the amended guideline range. See United States v. Dunphy, 551 F.3d 247, 257 (4th Cir.2009) (“When a sentence is within the guidelines applicable at the time of the original sentencing, in an 18 U.S.C. § 3582(e) resentencing hearing, a district judge is not authorized to reduce a defendant’s sentence below the amended guideline range.”). We deny Haymond’s motion for appointment of counsel and 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
