PER CURIAM:

Shamon Monair Goins appeals the district court’s order denying his 18 U.S.C.

§ 3582(c)(2) motion for a sentence reduction. We have reviewed the record and conclude

that the district court did not abuse its discretion when it denied Goins’ motion. See United

States v. Martin, 916 F.3d 389, 395 (4th Cir. 2019) (reiterating standard of review); see

also Concepcion v. United States, 597 U.S. 481, 498 n.6 (2022) (“A district court

cannot . . . recalculate a movant’s benchmark Guidelines range in any way other than to

reflect the retroactive application of the Fair Sentencing Act.”). Accordingly, we affirm

the district court’s order. United States v. Goins, No. 3:17-cr-00134-FDW-SCR-20

(W.D.N.C. Apr. 9, 2025). 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.
