UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff - Appellee, v. LEON MCDOWELL, Defendant - Appellant.

Leon McDowell, Appellant Pro Se. Jane Barrett Taylor, Assistant United States Attorney, Columbia, South Carolina, for Appellee.


UNPUBLISHED


Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, at Columbia. Cameron McGowan Currie, District Judge. (3:05-cr-00757-CMC-1) Before WILKINSON, DIAZ, and FLOYD, Circuit Judges. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Leon McDowell, Appellant Pro Se. Jane Barrett Taylor, Assistant United States Attorney, Columbia, South Carolina, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Leon McDowell appeals the district court's order denying his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2006) motion for a reduction of his sentence based on Amendment 750 and Dorsey v. United States, 132 S. Ct. 2321 (2012). McDowell was sentenced before the effective date of the Fair Sentencing Act. Therefore, the Act does not apply to his sentence. See Dorsey, 132 S. Ct. at 2335. 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
