PER CURIAM:
Davieyon Develle Hopkins appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for
a sentence reduction under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(B), and § 404(b) of the First Step Act
of 2018, Pub. L. No. 115-391, 132 Stat. 5194, 5222. The district court determined that
Hopkins was eligible for relief under the First Step Act but declined to exercise its
discretion to reduce Hopkins’ sentence after assessing the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors.
After reviewing the record, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion
in denying Hopkins’ motion. See United States v. Jackson, 952 F.3d 492, 497, 502 (4th
Cir. 2020). 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
