    UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
    FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
    No. 20-7165
    UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
    Plaintiff - Appellee,
    v.
    CAMILLA WHITAKER,
    Defendant - Appellant.
    Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at
    Richmond. Robert E. Payne, Senior District Judge. (3:08-cr-00374-REP-1)
    Submitted: October 20, 2020                                   Decided: October 23, 2020
    Before GREGORY, Chief Judge, DIAZ, Circuit Judge, and SHEDD, Senior Circuit Judge.
    Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
    Camilla Whitaker, Appellant Pro Se.
    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
    PER CURIAM:
    Camilla Whitaker appeals the district court’s order denying her 
    18 U.S.C. § 3582
    (c)(2) motion seeking a sentence reduction under Amendment 782 to the Sentencing
    Guidelines.   The court found that Whitaker was eligible for relief but exercised its
    discretion not to reduce her sentence. In so doing, the court considered the parties’
    arguments and the relevant 
    18 U.S.C. § 3553
    (a) factors and adequately explained its
    reasons for denying the motion. We conclude that the district court did not abuse its
    discretion in denying Whitaker’s motion and affirm the court’s judgment. See United
    States v. Martin, 
    916 F.3d 389
    , 395 (4th Cir. 2019) (stating standard). We deny Whitaker’s
    motion for appointment of 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
