PER CURIAM:
Marcus Antonio Blanks 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 discern no abuse of discretion
in the denial of Blanks’s motion. See United States v. Spruhan, 989 F.3d 266, 269 (4th
Cir. 2021) (providing standard). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. United
States v. Blanks, No. 7:18-cr-00107-D-2 (E.D.N.C. Dec. 22, 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
