Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. USCA4 Appeal: 25-6348 Doc: 7 Filed: 09/23/2025 Pg: 2 of 2 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. AFFIRMED 2
