PER CURIAM:
Guillermo Alfonson Salazar 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 review a district court’s decision to reduce a sentence under
§ 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 properly determined that Salazar’s
revocation sentence may not be reduced pursuant to Amendment 821. See USSG § 1B1.10
cmt. n.8(a), p.s. (2025) (“Only a term of imprisonment imposed as part of an original
sentence is authorized to be reduced under this section.”).
Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. United States v. Salazar, No. 2:09-
cr-00727-RMG-1 (D.S.C. Mar. 31, 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
