UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Leon PRATER, Defendant-Appellant, 592 F. App'x 210

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Leon Prater appeals the district court’s order denying his request for approval to pursue a sentence reduction under 18 U.S.C. § 8582(c)(2) (2012). In denying Prater’s request, the court concluded that Prater was not eligible for a sentence reduction under Amendment 750 because he was sentenced as a career offender. Prater’s sentence, however, was not based on his status as a career offender but was the sentence agreed to by the parties in the binding plea agreement. See Fed.

R.Crim.P. 11(c)(1)(C). Nevertheless, we conclude that Prater was not entitled to a sentence reduction and we therefore affirm the court’s judgment. Prater also appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for reconsideration. Although we conclude that the court was without authority to consider the mo-, tion on the merits, United States v. Goodwyn, 596 F.3d 233, 236 (4th Cir.2010), we affirm the denial of the motion. 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.

AFFIRMED.
