PER CURIAM:
Tyron Morton appeals the district court’s order denying his
18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2012) motions for a sentence reduction.
We generally review an order granting or denying a § 3582(c)(2)
motion for abuse of discretion.

See United States v. Goines,

357 F.3d 469, 478 (4th Cir. 2004).

We review de novo, however,

a district court’s determination of the scope of its authority
under § 3582(c)(2).
(4th Cir. 2009).

United States v. Dunphy, 551 F.3d 247, 250

We have thoroughly reviewed the record and the

relevant legal authorities and conclude that the district court
did

not

err

We therefore affirm the district court’s order.
