UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff - Appellee, v. DANIEL FOUNTAIN, a/k/a Danny Boy, Defendant - Appellant.

Daniel Fountain, Appellant Pro Se. Deborah K. Johnston, Assistant United States Attorney, Greenbelt, Maryland, for Appellee.


UNPUBLISHED Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Greenbelt. Roger W. Titus, Senior District Judge. (8:10-cr-00777-RWT-8) Before SHEDD and WYNN, Circuit Judges, and DAVIS, Senior Circuit Judge. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Daniel Fountain, Appellant Pro Se. Deborah K. Johnston, Assistant United States Attorney, Greenbelt, Maryland, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Daniel Fountain appeals the district court's order denying his motion to reconsider the district court's denial of his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2012) motion. Because the district court lacked jurisdiction to consider Fountain's motion for reconsideration, we affirm the denial of relief. See United States v. Goodwyn, 596 F.3d 233, 235-36 (4th Cir. 2010) (holding that district court lacks authority to grant motion to reconsider ruling on § 3582(c)(2) motion). We grant Fountain's motion to proceed in forma pauperis, and 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
