USCA4 Appeal: 25-6214 Doc: 9 Filed: 12/31/2025 Pg: 2 of 2

PER CURIAM: Joshua Rayshawn Melvin appeals the district court’s order denying Melvin’s 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) motion for a sentence reduction. We have reviewed the record and discern no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order.

United States v. Melvin, No. 5:16-cr-00074-D-2 (E.D.N.C. Mar. 21, 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
