PER CURIAM:
Christopher Smith appeals the district court’s amended order granting his motions
for a sentence reduction under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A)(i), 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2), and
Amendment 821 to the Sentencing Guidelines. By its amended order, the district court
reduced Smith’s sentence from 121 months’ imprisonment to 108 months’ imprisonment.
We have reviewed the record and discern no reversible error in the amended order. See
United States v. Brown, 78 F.4th 122, 127 (4th Cir. 2023) (explaining standard of review
for ruling on § 3582(c)(1)(A)(i) motion); United States v. Mann, 709 F.3d 301, 304 (4th
Cir. 2013) (explaining standard of review for ruling on § 3582(c)(2) motion). 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
