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
