Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Erickson   Dominguez-Gonzalez   appeals   the   district   court’s

order denying relief on his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2012) motion.

We have reviewed the record and conclude that the district court

did not abuse its discretion in denying Dominguez-Gonzalez a

sentence reduction on public safety grounds.    See United States v.

Smalls, 720 F.3d 193, 195 (4th Cir. 2013) (stating standard).        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
