Before SPROUSE and WILLIAMS, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior Circuit Judge.
PER CURIAM:
OPINION
Terry Bardwell appeals from the district court's order refusing relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (1988). Our review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.* United States v. Bardwell, Nos. CR-88-70-K, CA-91-2017 (D. Md. Jun. 2, 1992). 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
We note that a sentencing court may now reduce a sentence previously imposed only for substantial assistance on a motion by the government. See United States v. Apple, 962 F.2d 335 (4th Cir. 1992)
