PER CURIAM:
Tyzon L. Jones appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for a reduction
of his sentence pursuant to the First Step Act of 2018, Pub. L. No. 115-391, § 404, 32 Stat.
5194, 5222. Because Jones was originally sentenced under 21 U.S.C. § 841(b)(1)(C), he
was not convicted of a “covered offense” and, hence, is ineligible for relief under the First
Step Act. See Terry v. United States, 141 S. Ct. 1858, 1862-63 (2021). Accordingly, we
affirm. 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
