PER CURIAM:
Shawnell J-Von Terry appeals the district court’s order denying his 18 U.S.C.
§ 3582(c)(2) motion for a sentence reduction under Part A of Amendment 821 to the
Sentencing Guidelines. The district court concluded that Terry was eligible for relief but
exercised its discretion not to reduce Terry’s sentence after analyzing the 18 U.S.C.
§ 3553(a) factors. On appeal, Terry does not challenge the district court’s analysis of the
§ 3553(a) factors, arguing only that he is eligible for relief under Amendment 821.
Accordingly, Terry has forfeited appellate review of the district court’s dispositive ruling,
see 4th Cir. R. 34(b); Jackson v. Lightsey, 775 F.3d 170, 177 (4th Cir. 2014), and we affirm
the district court’s order, United States v. Terry, No. 5:20-cr-00371-D-1 (E.D.N.C. Aug. 4,
2025). 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
