PER CURIAM: 

Reginald Larue Spivey appeals the district court’s order denying his 18 U.S.C. 

§ 3582(c)(1)(A) motions for compassionate release and his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) motion 

for reduction of sentence. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error in the 

district court’s denial of Spivey’s motions for compassionate release. See United States v. 

Davis, 99 F.4th 647, 653-55, 657-59, 661 (4th Cir. 2024) (stating standard of review, 

addressing determinations district court must make to grant relief, and addressing 

parameters governing district court’s consideration of factors raised for relief). We also 

find no reversible error in the district court’s denial of Spivey’s § 3582(c)(2) motion, which 

sought a sentence reduction pursuant to Amendments 706, 750, and 782 to the U.S. 

Sentencing Guidelines Manual. Because Spivey was sentenced as a career offender under 

the Guidelines, these Amendments did not lower his applicable Guidelines range, and he 

therefore is not eligible for a sentence reduction under § 3582(c)(2). We thus affirm the 

district court’s order. United States v. Spivey, No. 7:03-cr-00023-D-1 (E.D.N.C. Aug. 7, 

2024). 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
