PER CURIAM:
Lemiah Wyatt Sanders, Jr., appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his
18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) motion for a sentence reduction. We have the reviewed the record
and find no reversible error. Although the district court’s explanation of its denial was
sparse and offered only a limited review of the facts of Sanders’s case, it was adequate to
allow for meaningful appellate review given the equally limited arguments proffered by
Sanders in his motion, his failure to carry the burden why the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors
warranted a sentence reduction, and the district court’s extensive prior involvement in
Sanders’s case. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. United States v. Sanders,
No. 1:18-cr-00059-LCB-1 (M.D.N.C. June 4, 2024). 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
