PER CURIAM:
Fernardo Lee Jordan appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his 18
U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) motion for a sentence reduction. “We review a district court’s decision
[whether] to reduce a sentence under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) for abuse of discretion and its
ruling as to the scope of its legal authority under § 3582(c)(2) de novo.” United States v.
Mann, 709 F.3d 301, 304 (4th Cir. 2013). Our review of the record reveals no error. The
court understood its authority to reduce Jordan’s sentence, but the court declined to grant
a reduction based on its review of the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors.
Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. 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
