PER CURIAM:
Shamon Monair Goins appeals the district court’s order denying his 18 U.S.C.
§ 3582(c)(2) motion for a sentence reduction. We have reviewed the record and conclude
that the district court did not abuse its discretion when it denied Goins’ motion. See United
States v. Martin, 916 F.3d 389, 395 (4th Cir. 2019) (reiterating standard of review); see
also Concepcion v. United States, 597 U.S. 481, 498 n.6 (2022) (“A district court
cannot . . . recalculate a movant’s benchmark Guidelines range in any way other than to
reflect the retroactive application of the Fair Sentencing Act.”). Accordingly, we affirm
the district court’s order. United States v. Goins, No. 3:17-cr-00134-FDW-SCR-20
(W.D.N.C. Apr. 9, 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
