William Glenn Perry, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY,
Raleigh, North Carolina, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Kavin Datron Williams appeals the district court’s order
denying his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2012) motion for a sentence
reduction. Based on our review of the record, we conclude that
the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying the
motion based on the risk Williams poses to public safety. See
United States v. Smalls, 720 F.3d 193, 195 (4th Cir. 2013)
(“Whether to reduce a sentence and to what extent is a matter
within the district court’s discretion.”) Accordingly, we
affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. See United
States v. Williams, No. 4:10-cr-00088-D-1 (E.D.N.C. Oct. 7,
2016). 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
