Attorney, Kristine L. Fritz, Assistant United States Attorney, OFFICE OF THE UNITED
STATES ATTORNEY, Raleigh, North Carolina, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Rodney Earl Cannady appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his motion
for a sentence reduction pursuant to the First Step Act of 2018, Pub. L. No. 115-391, § 404,
132 Stat. 5194, 5222. We have reviewed the record and find that the district court did not
abuse its discretion in declining to reduce Cannady’s sentence. See United States v.
Jackson, 952 F.3d 492, 497 (4th Cir. 2020) (reviewing ruling on First Step Act motion for
abuse of discretion). Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court.
United States v. Cannady, No. 5:08-cr-00258-D-1 (E.D.N.C. June 29, 2020). We deny
Cannady’s motion for appointment of counsel. 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
