USCA4 Appeal: 22-7202      Doc: 12        Filed: 03/28/2023     Pg: 2 of 2

        PER CURIAM:

              Lionel Staine appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for a sentence

        reduction under § 404 of the First Step Act of 2018, Pub. L. No. 115-391, 132 Stat. 5194.

        We have reviewed the record and find no abuse of discretion. See United States v. Reed,

        58 F.4th 816, 819 (4th Cir. 2023) (stating standard of review). 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

                                                    2
