Anthony Martinez, Federal Public Defender, Ann L. Hester, Assistant Federal Public Defender, FEDERAL DEFENDERS OF WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA, INC., Charlotte, North Carolina, for Appellant. William T. Stetzer, Acting United States Attorney, Amy E. Ray, Assistant United States Attorney, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Asheville, North Carolina, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:
Antonio Maurice Craig appeals the district court’s 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 Craig 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,
141 S. Ct. 1858, 1862-64(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.
AFFIRMED
