PER CURIAM:

       Antonio Maurice Craig appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for a

reduction of his sentence pursuant to the First Step Act of 2018, Pub. L. No. 115-391,

§ 404, 32 Stat. 5194, 5222. Because Craig was originally sentenced under 21 U.S.C.

§ 841(b)(1)(C), he was not convicted of a “covered offense” and, hence, is ineligible for

relief under the First Step Act. See Terry v. United States, 141 S. Ct. 1858, 1862-64 (2021).

Accordingly, we affirm. 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
