USCA4 Appeal: 25-6071 Doc: 8 Filed: 02/23/2026 Pg: 2 of 2

PER CURIAM: Mark Watkins appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for sentence modification under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A). We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny his pending motion and affirm the district court’s order. See United States v. Watkins, No. 5:94-cr-00066-JPB-1 (N.D. W. Va. Jan. 6, 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
