PER CURIAM: James Earl Walton appeals the district court’s order denying his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) motion for a sentence reduction pursuant to Amendment 821 to the Sentencing Guidelines. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. See United States v. Mann, 709 F.3d 301, 304 (4th Cir. 2013) (providing standard).

Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. United States v. Walton, No. 2:07-cr- 00017-BO-1 (E.D.N.C. Feb. 11, 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
