JUSTICE, Washington, D.C.,
PER CURIAM:

       Muhammad Adbul Rahman appeals from the district court’s order denying relief on

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

391, § 404, 132 Stat. 5194, 5222. We have reviewed the record and find that the district

court did not abuse its discretion in declining to reduce Rahman’s sentence. Accordingly,

we deny Rahman’s motion for a limited remand and affirm for the reasons stated by the

district court. United States v. Rahman, No. 7:08-cr-00126-D-1 (E.D.N.C. Apr. 17, 2020).

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.
