PER CURIAM:

       In these consolidated cases, the Government appeals the district court’s orders

granting the motions of Brian Antwanine Johnson and Douglas Washington for sentence

reductions under the First Step Act of 2018, Pub. L. No. 115-391, 132 Stat. 5194. We have

reviewed the record included on appeal, as well as the parties’ briefs, and we find no

reversible error. See United States v. Wirsing, 943 F.3d 175 (4th Cir. 2019); see also United

States v. Gravatt, 953 F.3d 258 (4th Cir. 2020). Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons

stated by the district court. See United States v. Johnson, No. 1:98-cr-00283-LMB-1 (E.D.

Va. July 3, 2019); United States v. Washington, No. 1:09-cr-00121-LMB-5 (E.D. Va. July

1, 2019). In light of this disposition, we deny as moot the Appellees’ motions for summary

affirmance. 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

                                             3
