PER CURIAM:

Christopher Smith appeals the district court’s amended order granting his motions

for a sentence reduction under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A)(i), 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2), and

Amendment 821 to the Sentencing Guidelines. By its amended order, the district court

reduced Smith’s sentence from 121 months’ imprisonment to 108 months’ imprisonment.

We have reviewed the record and discern no reversible error in the amended order. See

United States v. Brown, 78 F.4th 122, 127 (4th Cir. 2023) (explaining standard of review

for ruling on § 3582(c)(1)(A)(i) motion); United States v. Mann, 709 F.3d 301, 304 (4th

Cir. 2013) (explaining standard of review for ruling on § 3582(c)(2) motion). Accordingly,

we affirm. 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
