USCA4 Appeal: 25-6400 Doc: 8 Filed: 12/22/2025 Pg: 2 of 2

PER CURIAM: Mushulla Saleem Nixon appeals the district court’s order denying his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(B) motion for a sentence reduction under § 404(b) of the First Step Act of 2018, Pub. L. 115-391, 132 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 18 U.S.C. § 3553(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
