PER CURIAM:

Agustin Gomez-Rojas appeals the district court’s order denying his

(c)(2) motion for a sentence reduction pursuant to Amendment 821 to the

Sentencing Guidelines. Part A of Amendment 821 limits the impact of “status points,”

which are “additional criminal history points given to defendants for the fact of having

committed the instant offense while under a criminal justice sentence, including probation,

parole, supervised release, imprisonment, work release, or escape status.” U.S. Sentencing

Guidelines Manual § 1B1.10 cmt. n.7 (2024).

“We review a district court’s decision [whether] to reduce a sentence under

§ 3582(c)(2) de novo.” United States v. Mann,

(4th Cir. 2013). Our

review of the record reveals no error. The court understood its authority to reduce Gomez-

Rojas’s sentence and recognized Gomez-Rojas’s postsentencing rehabilitative conduct, but

the court declined to grant a reduction based on its review of the

(a)

factors.

Accordingly, we deny Gomez-Rojas’s motions to appoint counsel and to waive

service, and we affirm the district court’s order. United States v. Gomez-Rojas, No. 5:19-

cr-308-D-1 (E.D.N.C. July 15, 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.

AFFIRMED
