PER CURIAM:
Davieyon Develle Hopkins appeals the district court’s order denying his renewed
motion for a sentence reduction under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(B), and § 404(b) of the First
Step Act of 2018, Pub. L. No. 115-391, 132 Stat. 5194, 5222. The district court ruled that
it could not entertain Hopkins’ renewed motion because he previously filed a First Step
Act motion that the court denied after “a complete review . . . on the merits.” First Step
Act, § 404(c), 132 Stat. at 5222. We discern no error in the district court’s ruling. See
United States v. Goodwin, 37 F.4th 948, 952 (4th Cir. 2022) (reviewing de novo district
court’s determination that defendant was ineligible for First Step Act relief under § 404(c)).
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
