Raoul Lafond, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

       Raoul Lafond appeals from the district court’s order granting in part and denying in

part 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 reducing Lafond’s supervised release term but

declining to reduce Lafond’s term of imprisonment. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons

stated by the district court. United States v. Lafond, No. 6:96-cr-00212-CCE-1 (M.D.N.C.

May 5, 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.
