PER CURIAM:
George Edward Mitchum appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for a
sentence reduction under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(B), (2). Our review of the record reveals
no error in the denial of Mitchum’s motion. The district court did not err in finding
Mitchum was not eligible for a sentence reduction under Amendment 821 to the United
States Sentencing Guidelines. To the extent Mitchum sought relief under Amendment 822,
that amendment is not retroactively applicable. And the district court did not err in
determining that the denial of Mitchum’s prior motion for relief under § 404 of the First
Step Act precluded consideration of a second motion under that section. See First Step Act
of 2018, Pub. L. No. 115-391, § 404(c), 132 Stat. 5194, 5222.
Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. United States v. Mitchum,
No. 4:08-cr-01174-SAL-1 (D.S.C. Oct. 21, 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
