        PER CURIAM:

               Brian O’Keith Brown 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). Accordingly,

        we affirm the district court’s order. 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
