PER CURIAM:
James Earl Walton appeals from the district court’s order denying his motion for a
reduction in sentence 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 no reversible
error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. United States v.
Walton, No. 2:00-cr-00022-BO-1 (E.D.N.C. Oct. 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
