    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
    PER CURIAM:
    Claude Sloan appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for
    compassionate release under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A)(i), as amended by the First Step
    Act of 2018, Pub. L. No. 115-391, § 603(b)(1), 132 Stat. 5194, 5239. Having reviewed the
    record and finding no reversible error, we affirm the decision of the district court.
    See United States v. Sloan, Nos. 2:00-cr-10101-JPJ-1; 2:18-CR-00004-JPJ-1 (W.D. Va.
    July 16, 2020). We deny Sloan’s motion to appoint counsel. 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
