PER CURIAM:

Reginald Lamar Davis appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his 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 error. Davis was eligible

for a sentence reduction under Amendment 821 to the Sentencing Guidelines, and the court

clearly understood its authority to reduce Davis’s sentence. The court recognized Davis’s

positive postsentencing conduct, 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
