Robert E. Payne, Senior District Judge. (3:20-cr-00031-REP-1) Submitted: July 29, 2025 Decided: August 1, 2025 Before KING, WYNN, and BERNER, Circuit Judges. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Fernardo Lee Jordan, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. USCA4 Appeal: 25-6002 Doc: 13 Filed: 08/01/2025 Pg: 2 of 2 PER CURIAM: Fernardo Lee Jordan 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 18 U.S.C. § 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. The court understood its authority to reduce Jordan’s sentence, 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 2
