Opinion

Tyzon L. Jones appeals the district courts order denying his motion for a reduction of his sentence pursuant to the First Step Act of 2018, Pub. L. No. 115-391, § 404, 32 Stat. 5194, 5222. Because Jones was originally sentenced under 21 U.S.C. § 841(b)(1)(C), he was not convicted of a “covered offense” and, hence, is ineligible for relief under the First Step Act. See Terry v. United States, ––– U.S. ––––, 141 S. Ct. 1858, 1862-63, ––– L.Ed.2d –––– (2021). Accordingly, we affirm. 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.
