PER CURIAM:

Phillip Eugene Evans appeals the district court’s order denying his 18 U.S.C.

§ 3582(c)(2) motion for reduction of sentence. After reviewing the record, we conclude

that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Evans’ motion. See United

States v. Spruhan, 989 F.3d 266, 269 (4th Cir. 2021) (stating standard of review).

Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. United States v. Evans,

No. 5:19-cr-00356-D-4 (E.D.N.C. Aug. 9, 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
