PER CURIAM:
Jared Bruton appeals the district court’s order granting in part his motion for a
sentence reduction pursuant to Section 404(b) of the First Step Act, Pub L. No. 115-391,
132 Stat. 5194, and reducing Bruton’s sentence and supervised release term but declining
to reduce Bruton’s sentence further. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible
error. The district court considered the revised statutory range, the advisory Sentencing
Guidelines range, the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors, and Bruton’s rehabilitative efforts. See
United States v. Collington, 995 F.3d 347, 358-61 (4th Cir. 2021). However, the court
reasonably determined that the nature and circumstances of Bruton’s offense, as well as his
criminal history, weighed against a further reduction. Accordingly, we affirm the district
court’s order. United States v. Bruton, No. 1:01-cr-00263-NCT-1 (M.D.N.C. Jan. 20,
2022). 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
