PER CURIAM:
Michael Alonza Rufus, a federal prisoner serving a revocation sentence, appeals the
district court’s order denying his motion for a sentence reduction based on Amendment
821. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm
the district court’s order. See 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2); U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual
§ 1B1.10 cmt. n.8(A); United States v. Spruhan, 989 F.3d 266, (4th Cir. 2021) (explaining
that “sentence reductions must be ‘consistent with applicable policy statements issued by
the Sentencing Commission’”); United States v. Rufus, No. 3:02-cr-00550-MGL-1 (D.S.C.
June 3, 2024). We deny the motion to expedite as moot. 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
