PER CURIAM:

       Wayne D. Thompson appeals the district court’s order denying his motion seeking

a sentence modification under the First Step Act of 2018, Pub. L. No. 115-391, 132 Stat.

5194. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. See United States v.

Jackson, 

, 502 (4th Cir. 2020) (“Even assuming . . . that a district court in a

First Step Act sentence reduction proceeding has equivalent duties to a court initially

sentencing a defendant, . . . [w]e are satisfied that the district court considered the parties’

arguments and had a reasoned basis for exercising its own legal decisionmaking authority.”

(internal quotation marks and brackets omitted)). Accordingly, we affirm the district

court’s order. United States v. Thompson, No. 3:08-cr-00309-REP-1 (E.D. Va. Dec. 10,

2019). 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
