PER CURIAM:
Steven McKelvey filed an 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2006) motion, seeking the benefit of Amendment 750 of the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines. The district court denied the motion because McKelvey’s sentence was not based on the Guidelines, but instead on the statutorily mandated minimum sentence. McKelvey then filed a “Motion to Assert Jurisdiction,” contending that the district court erroneously denied his § 3582(c)(2) motion. The district court construed McKelvey’s motion as a second § 3582(c)(2) motion seeking the benefit of Amendment 750 and denied relief. McKelvey appeals from this order. We affirm.
In United States v. Goodwyn, 596 F.3d 233 (4th Cir.2010), we held that a district court lacks authority to grant a motion to reconsider its ruling on a § 3582(c)(2) motion. Id. at 234. Under Goodwyn, McKelvey had only one opportunity to seek, through a § 3582(c)(2) motion, the benefit of Amendment 750. See id. at 235-36. Once the district court ruled on McKel-vey’s first § 3582(c)(2) motion, it lacked authority to grant subsequent relief — either by way of a second § 3582(c)(2) motion or a motion for reconsideration of the initial order.
Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order denying McKelvey’s motion.
AFFIRMED.
