PER CURIAM:
Ryan Craig Brown appeals the district court’s order denying Brown’s motion for
sentence reduction, brought pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2), based on Amendment 821
to the Sentencing Guidelines. Upon review, we conclude that the district court did not
abuse its discretion in denying Brown’s motion. See United States v. Martin, 916 F.3d
389, 395 (4th Cir. 2019) (stating standard of review). Accordingly, we affirm the district
court’s order. United States v. Brown, No. 4:08-cr-00184-JD-1 (D.S.C. Dec. 27, 2024).
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
