PER CURIAM:

Mushulla Saleem Nixon appeals the district court’s order denying his

(c)(1)(B) motion for a sentence reduction under § 404(b) of the First Step Act of

2018,

Stat. 5194. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible

error. Specifically, while the court recognized that Nixon was eligible for a sentence

reduction, it declined to reduce his sentence after considering the

(a)

factors and Nixon’s post-sentencing conduct. We find that the court did not abuse its

discretion in declining to reduce Nixon’s sentence. Accordingly, we affirm the district

court’s order. United States v. Nixon, No. 4:07-cr-00053-FL-1 (E.D.N.C., Apr. 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
