PER CURIAM: Clarence Sheldon Jupiter appeals the district court=s orders denying his motion for sentence reduction pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2), and his motion for reconsideration of that denial.

United States v. Jupiter, 5:93-cr-00004-sgw-1 (W.D. Va. May 8, 2008; June 13, 2008). * No. 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 * Jupiter may file a new § 3582(c) motion seeking a four-level reduction based on Amendments 505 and 706 to the Guidelines. We, of course, offer no opinion on what the disposition of such a motion should be. 2
