PER CURIAM:
Josand Farmer appeals from the district court’s order granting in part and denying
in part his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(B) motions 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 affirm the district court’s
order. United States v. Farmer, No. 5:10-cr-00271-FL-3 (E.D.N.C. May 28, 2021).
We deny Farmer’s motions for judicial notice and to expedite decision and 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
* The district court’s order denied in part and granted in part Famer’s motions for
reduction of sentence and denied his motion for compassionate release. Farmer confines
his appeal to the district court’s denial of his motions for reduction of sentence.
