Docket

*1 Before DUNCAN and WYNN, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Demaine Diwan Benjamin, Appellant Pro Se. Carrie Fisher Sherard, Assistant United States Attorney, Greenville, South Carolina, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

Demaine Diwan Benjamin appeals the district court’s orders denying relief on his motion for reduction in sentence pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2012) and denying his motion for reconsideration. [*] We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. See United States v. Muldrow , 844 F.3d 434, 437 (4th Cir. 2016) (providing standard). Accordingly, we affirm. 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

[*] Although a district court lacks authority to reconsider a ruling on a § 3582(c)(2) motion, “this prohibition [is] non-jurisdictional, and thus waived when the government fail[s] to assert it below.” United States v. May , 855 F.3d 271, 274 (4th Cir. 2017). Here, “[b]ecause the government failed to raise this non-jurisdictional limitation below, it is waived on appeal.” Id . at 275. We therefore analyze Benjamin’s § 3582(c)(2) motion and motion for reconsideration together. 2
