PER CURIAM:

Derron McRae Simon appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his

(c)(2) motion for a sentence reduction. “We review a district court’s decision

[whether] to reduce a sentence under § 3582(c)(2) for abuse of discretion and its ruling as

to the scope of its legal authority under § 3582(c)(2) de novo.” United States v. Mann,

(4th Cir. 2013). Our review of the record reveals no error. The court clearly

understood its authority to reduce Simon’s sentence, but the court declined to grant a

reduction based on its review of the

(a) factors.

Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. 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
