PER CURIAM:
Dewayne Cornelius Melvin appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his
motion seeking a sentence reduction pursuant to the First Step Act of 2018, Pub. L. No.
115-391, § 404, 132 Stat. 5194, 5222. We have reviewed the record and find that the court
did not abuse its discretion in declining to reduce Melvin’s sentence. Accordingly, we
affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. United States v. Melvin, No. 5:08-cr-
00164-D-1 (E.D.N.C. May 7, 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
