PER CURIAM:
Terron McAllister appeals from the district court’s order denying relief on his
motion for a sentence reduction pursuant to Section 404 of 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 district court did not abuse its discretion in declining to reduce McAllister’s sentence.
See United States v. Jackson, 952 F.3d 492, 495-97 (4th Cir. 2020) (reviewing decision on
First Step Act motion for abuse of discretion). Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons
stated by the district court. United States v. McAllister, No. 7:06-cr-00044-D-1 (E.D.N.C.
July 20, 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
