Anthony Marcellus Baker, Appellant Pro Se. Rod J. Rosenstein, United States Attorney, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM: Anthony Marcellus Baker appeals the district court's orders denying his motion for modification of sentence, 18 U.S.C.A. § 3582(c)(2) (West 2000 & Supp. 2008). and find no reversible error. We have reviewed the record

Accordingly, we affirm for the

reasons stated by the district court. United States v. Baker, Nos. 8:94-cr-00361-PJM-l; 8:08-cv-01102-PJM-l (D. Md. filed May 1, 2008 and entered May 2, 2008; May 9, 2008).* 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

To the extent that Baker seeks to raise his claims by way of a 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000) motion, the district court properly noted that he must first obtain authorization from this court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2244 (2000). 2
