PER CURIAM:

Jacqueline Tatiana Cuellar appeals the district court’s order denying relief on her 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 reversible error. The

district court clearly understood its authority to reduce Cuellar’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
