PER CURIAM:

Kavin Datron Williams appeals the district court’s order 

denying his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2012) motion for a sentence 

reduction. Based on our review of the record, we conclude that 

the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying the 

motion based on the risk Williams poses to public safety. See

United States v. Smalls, 720 F.3d 193, 195 (4th Cir. 2013) 

(“Whether to reduce a sentence and to what extent is a matter 

within the district court’s discretion.”) Accordingly, we 

affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. See United 

States v. Williams, No. 4:10-cr-00088-D-1 (E.D.N.C. Oct. 7, 

2016). 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
