PER CURIAM:
James Earl Walton appeals the district court’s order denying his 18 U.S.C.
§ 3582(c)(2) motion for a sentence reduction pursuant to Amendment 821 to the
Sentencing Guidelines. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. See
United States v. Mann, 709 F.3d 301, 304 (4th Cir. 2013) (providing standard).
Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. United States v. Walton, No. 2:07-cr-
00017-BO-1 (E.D.N.C. Feb. 11, 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
