PER CURIAM:
Shawn Alexander Powell appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for a
sentence reduction pursuant to 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 for the reasons stated by the district court. United States v. Powell,
No. 7:09-cr-00011-D-1 (E.D.N.C. Apr. 6, 2020). We deny Powell’s motion to appoint
counsel and dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal conclusions are
adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
AFFIRMED
