Opinion

Norvell Blythe Baker appeals from the district courts order granting relief on his motion for a sentence reduction pursuant to section 404(b) of the First Step Act of 2018 (FSA 2018), Pub. L. No. 115-391, 132 Stat. 5194, 5222. We have reviewed the record and conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in reducing Bakers prison term and in declining to reduce Bakers supervised release term. See United States v. Jackson, 952 F.3d 492, 497, 502 (4th Cir. 2020) (reviewing decision on FSA 2018 sentence reduction motion for abuse of discretion). Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. United States v. Baker, No. 1:04-cr-00254-WO-1 (M.D.N.C. Jan. 24, 2020). We deny Bakers motion to expedite decision and 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.
