PER CURIAM:

       Ron Christopher Whitley appeals from the district court’s order denying his

18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(B) motion for reduction of sentence under § 404(b) of the First Step

Act of 2018, Pub. L. No. 115-391, § 404(b), 132 Stat. 5194, 5222. We have reviewed the

record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny Whitley’s motion to appoint

counsel and affirm the district court’s order. United States v. Whitley, No. 5:10-cr-00236-

D-1 (E.D.N.C. Dec. 29, 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
