Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

Michael Alonza Rufus, a federal prisoner serving a revocation sentence, appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for a sentence reduction based on Amendment 821. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. See 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2); U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual § 1B1.10 cmt. n.8(A); United States v. Spruhan, 989 F.3d 266, (4th Cir. 2021) (explaining that “sentence reductions must be ‘consistent with applicable policy statements issued by the Sentencing Commission’”); United States v. Rufus, No. 3:02-cr-00550-MGL-1 (D.S.C. June 3, 2024). We deny the motion to expedite as moot. 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.
