USCA4 Appeal: 24-6756 Doc: 26 Filed: 12/30/2025 Pg: 2 of 2

PER CURIAM: LaCharles Anthony Clark appeals the district court’s order denying his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) motion for a sentence reduction based on Amendment 821 to the Sentencing Guidelines. Counsel for Clark filed a brief citing Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Having reviewed the record, the brief filed by Clark’s attorney, and Clark’s pro se supplemental brief, we discern no abuse of discretion in the district court’s determination that factors considered under 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) counsel against a sentence reduction.

See United States v. Martin, 916 F.3d 389, 395 (4th Cir. 2019) (providing standard of review). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. United States v. Clark, No. 1:21-cr-00112-TDS-1 (M.D.N.C. July 16, 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.

AFFIRMED
