PER CURIAM:
Joshua Rayshawn Melvin appeals the district court’s order denying Melvin’s
18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) motion for a sentence reduction. We have reviewed the record and
discern no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order.
United States v. Melvin, No. 5:16-cr-00074-D-2 (E.D.N.C. Mar. 21, 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
