PER CURIAM:
Lamont E. McCord appeals from the district court’s order denying relief on his
motion for a sentence reduction pursuant to § 404 of the First Step Act of 2018, Pub. L.
No. 115-391, § 404, 132 Stat. 5194, 5222. We have reviewed the record and find that the
district court did not abuse its discretion in declining to reduce McCord’s sentence. See
United States v. Jackson, 952 F.3d 492, 495-97 (4th Cir. 2020) (reviewing decision on First
Step Act motion for abuse of discretion). Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by
the district court. United States v. McCord, No. 3:06-cr-00387-REP-2 (E.D. Va. Oct. 8,
2020). 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
