PER CURIAM:
Robert Ronald Gibson appeals the district court’s order denying his motion to
reconsider the court’s prior order, which granted in part Gibson’s hybrid motion for
compassionate release and a sentence reduction pursuant to Section 404 of the First Step
Act of 2018, Pub. L. No. 115-391, 132 Stat. 5194. Though the district court previously
reduced Gibson’s sentence from life plus 1260 months to a total term of 720 months,
Gibson’s reconsideration motion requested an even greater reduction to his sentence. Upon
review of the record, we discern no abuse of discretion in the district court’s determination
that further relief was unwarranted. See United States v. High, 997 F.3d 181, 185 (4th Cir.
2021) (providing standard of review for compassionate release motions); United States v.
Collington, 995 F.3d 347, 358-59 (4th Cir. 2021) (providing standard of review for Section
404 motions).
Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. 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
