PER CURIAM: Larry Barnes, Jr., appeals the district court’s order denying his renewed 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) motion for a sentence reduction pursuant to Amendment 821 to the Sentencing Guidelines. We conclude that the district court correctly found that Barnes is ineligible for relief under Amendment 821 because his sentence was governed by the mandatory minimum sentences, not his criminal history score. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. United States v. Barnes, No. 3:20-cr-00002-HEH-1 (E.D. Va. Feb.

5, 2026). 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
