PER CURIAM:

Erickson Dominguez-Gonzalez appeals the district court’s 

order denying relief on his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2012) motion. 

We have reviewed the record and conclude that the district court 

did not abuse its discretion in denying Dominguez-Gonzalez a 

sentence reduction on public safety grounds. See United States v. 

Smalls, 720 F.3d 193, 195 (4th Cir. 2013) (stating standard). 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
