PER CURIAM:
Tony Taylor appeals the district court’s order granting his motion for a sentence
reduction under section 404(b) of the First Step Act of 2018, Pub. L. No. 115-391, 132
Stat. 5194, 5222, and denying his motion for compassionate release pursuant to 18 U.S.C.
§ 3582(c)(1)(A). We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly,
we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. United States v. Taylor, No. 5:06-cr-
00279-D-1 (E.D.N.C. June 7, 2021). We deny Taylor’s motion for the appointment of
counsel. 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
