PER CURIAM:
Alexander Edward Bell appeals the district court’s order denying his 18 U.S.C.
§ 3582(c)(2) motion for a sentence reduction based on Amendment 821 to the Sentencing
Guidelines. Having reviewed the record, we discern no abuse of discretion in the district
court’s determination that the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors weighed against a sentence
reduction. See United States v. Martin, 916 F.3d 389, 395 (4th Cir. 2019) (explaining
standard of review). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. United States v.
Bell, No. 3:14-cr-00008-HEH-1 (E.D. Va. Feb. 28, 2025). 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
