PER CURIAM:

Shawnell J-Von Terry appeals the district court’s order denying his

18 U.S.C. § 3582

(c)(2) motion for a sentence reduction under Part A of Amendment 821 to the

Sentencing Guidelines. The district court concluded that Terry was eligible for relief but

exercised its discretion not to reduce Terry’s sentence after analyzing the

18 U.S.C. § 3553

(a) factors. On appeal, Terry does not challenge the district court’s analysis of the

§ 3553(a) factors, arguing only that he is eligible for relief under Amendment 821.

Accordingly, Terry has forfeited appellate review of the district court’s dispositive ruling,

see 4th Cir. R. 34(b); Jackson v. Lightsey,

775 F.3d 170, 177

(4th Cir. 2014), and we affirm

the district court’s order, United States v. Terry, No. 5:20-cr-00371-D-1 (E.D.N.C. Aug. 4,

2025). 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.
