PER CURIAM:
Derron McRae Simon appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his 18
U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) motion for a sentence reduction. “We review a district court’s decision
[whether] to reduce a sentence under § 3582(c)(2) for abuse of discretion and its ruling as
to the scope of its legal authority under § 3582(c)(2) de novo.” United States v. Mann, 709
F.3d 301, 304 (4th Cir. 2013). Our review of the record reveals no error. The court clearly
understood its authority to reduce Simon’s sentence, but the court declined to grant a
reduction based on its review of the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors.
Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. 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
