        PER CURIAM:

               David Perez Garcia appeals the district court’s order denying his motions as

        supplemented for a sentence reduction under § 404(b) of the First Step Act of 2018, Pub.

        L. No. 115-391, 132 Stat. 5194, 5222, and for compassionate release pursuant to 18 U.S.C.

        § 3582(c)(1)(A). Upon review, we discern no abuse of discretion in the court’s rulings on

        these motions. See United States v. Reed, 58 F.4th 816, 819 (4th Cir. 2023) (providing

        standard of review of the denial of relief under § 404(b) of the First Step Act); United States

        v. Kibble, 992 F.3d 326, 329 (4th Cir. 2021) (stating standard of review for compassionate

        release motions). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. United States v.

        Garcia, No. 3:01-cr-00036-FDW-1 (W.D.N.C. Apr. 3, 2023). We deny Garcia’s motion

        for the appointment of counsel. 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
