    UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Jeffrey Bernard JOYNER, Defendant-Appellant.
    No. 16-7594
    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
    Submitted: March 14, 2017
    Decided: March 17, 2017
    Jeffrey Bernard Joyner, Appellant Pro Se. Jennifer P. May-Parker, Assistant United States Attorney, Raleigh, North Carolina, for Appellee.
    Before FLOYD and HARRIS, Circuit Judges, and DAVIS, Senior Circuit Judge.
   Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

Jeffrey Bernard Joyner appeals the district court’s order denying Joyner’s 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2012) motion for sentence reduction based on Amendment 782 to the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual (2014). Based on our review of the record, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying the motion based on the risk Joyner poses to public safety. See United States v. Smalls, 720 F.3d 193, 195 (4th Cir. 2013) (“Whether to reduce a sentence and to what extent is a matter within the court’s discretion.”). Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. See United States v. Joyner, No. 4:11-cr-00078-D-1 (E.D.N.C. filed Nov. 11, 2016; entered Nov. 14, 2016). 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
