PER CURIAM:

Robert Kenneth Brinson, a federal prisoner, appeals the district court’s order

denying his motion for a sentence reduction under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A)(i). Having

carefully reviewed the record, we are satisfied that the district court did not abuse its

discretion in weighing the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors and concluding that Brinson was

not entitled to a sentence reduction. See United States v. Moody, 115 F.4th 304, 310 (4th

Cir. 2024) (explaining standard of review); Brodziak v. Runyon, 145 F.3d 194, 196 (4th

Cir. 1998) (recognizing that a decision “within the discretion of the [district] court should

be affirmed even though we might have exercised that discretion quite differently”).

Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. United States v. Brinson, No.

5:92-cr-00387-CMC-1 (D.S.C. June 18, 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
