Lamont E. McCord, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

       Lamont E. McCord appeals from the district court’s order denying relief on his

motion for a sentence reduction pursuant to § 404 of 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 McCord’s sentence. See

United States v. Jackson, 952 F.3d 492, 495-97 (4th Cir. 2020) (reviewing decision on First

Step Act motion for abuse of discretion). Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by

the district court. United States v. McCord, No. 3:06-cr-00387-REP-2 (E.D. Va. Oct. 8,

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.

                                                                              AFFIRMED
