PER CURIAM: Michael Anthony McDowell appeals the district court’s order denying his motion to compel the Government to file a motion for reduction of McDowell’s sentence. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm. United States v. McDowell, No. 6:11-cr-00589-JMC-2 (D.S.C. July 20, 2022). We also grant McDowell’s motion to seal his informal brief. 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
