Opinion

Michael F. Matthews appeals from the district courts order denying relief on his motion for a sentence reduction pursuant to Section 404 of the First Step Act of 2018, Pub. L. No. 115-391, § 404, 132 Stat. 5194, 5222 (2018). We have reviewed the record and conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in declining to reduce Matthews’ sentence. See United States v. Collington, 995 F.3d 347, 358-59 (4th Cir. 2021) (stating that sentencing decisions reviewed for abuse of discretion). Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. United States v. Matthews, No. 3:07-cr-00226-REP-RCY-1 (E.D. Va. Oct. 16, 2020). 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.
