PER CURIAM:
Juwon Reaqwon Massey appeals from the district court’s determination of his U.S.
Sentencing Guidelines range. We review a district court’s sentencing decisions for abuse
of discretion. Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 46 (2007). In so doing, we ensure the
district court did not make any procedural error, such as improperly calculating the
Guidelines range, selecting a sentence based on clearly erroneous facts, or failing to
adequately explain the sentence imposed. Id. at 51. “When determining whether the district
court properly applied the advisory Sentencing Guidelines, this Court reviews the district
court’s legal conclusions de novo and its factual findings for clear error.” United States v.
Claybrooks, 90 F.4th 248, 253 (4th Cir. 2024) (cleaned up).
We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm
the district court’s determination of Massey’s Guidelines range and decision to sentence
Massey within that range. 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
