PER CURIAM:

Reginald Larue Spivey appeals the district court’s order denying his

18 U.S.C. § 3582

(c)(1)(A) motions for compassionate release and his

18 U.S.C. § 3582

(c)(2) motion

for reduction of sentence. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error in the

district court’s denial of Spivey’s motions for compassionate release. See United States v.

Davis,

99 F.4th 647

, 653-55, 657-59, 661 (4th Cir. 2024) (stating standard of review,

addressing determinations district court must make to grant relief, and addressing

parameters governing district court’s consideration of factors raised for relief). We also

find no reversible error in the district court’s denial of Spivey’s § 3582(c)(2) motion, which

sought a sentence reduction pursuant to Amendments 706, 750, and 782 to the U.S.

Sentencing Guidelines Manual. Because Spivey was sentenced as a career offender under

the Guidelines, these Amendments did not lower his applicable Guidelines range, and he

therefore is not eligible for a sentence reduction under § 3582(c)(2). We thus affirm the

district court’s order. United States v. Spivey, No. 7:03-cr-00023-D-1 (E.D.N.C. Aug. 7,

2024). 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.
