    UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Timothy Nicholas RHODES, Defendant-Appellant.
    No. 10-6789.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
    Submitted: Sept. 30, 2010.
    Decided: Oct. 8, 2010.
    Timothy Nicholas Rhodes, Appellant pro se. Rudolf A. Renfer, Jr., Assistant United States Attorney, Raleigh, North Carolina, for Appellee.
    Before NIEMEYER, AGEE, and KEENAN, Circuit Judges.
   Affirmed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

Timothy N. Rhodes appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for reconsideration of the denial of his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c) (2006) motion for a reduction in sentence. Because Rhodes challenged the merits of the district court’s decision in his motion to reconsider, we conclude that the district court lacked authority to consider the motion. United States v. Goodwyn, 596 F.3d 233, 235-36 (4th Cir.2010).

We therefore affirm the judgment of the district court. 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.
