PER CURIAM:
Robert Kenneth Brinson, a federal prisoner, appeals the district court’s order
denying his motion for a sentence reduction under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A)(i). Having
carefully reviewed the record, we are satisfied that the district court did not abuse its
discretion in weighing the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors and concluding that Brinson was
not entitled to a sentence reduction. See United States v. Moody, 115 F.4th 304, 310 (4th
Cir. 2024) (explaining standard of review); Brodziak v. Runyon, 145 F.3d 194, 196 (4th
Cir. 1998) (recognizing that a decision “within the discretion of the [district] court should
be affirmed even though we might have exercised that discretion quite differently”).
Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. United States v. Brinson, No.
5:92-cr-00387-CMC-1 (D.S.C. June 18, 2024). 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
