115-391, § 404, 132 Stat. 5194, 5222, and denying his motion to amend. We have reviewed
the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by
the district court. United States v. Walton, No. 2:07-cr-00017-BO-1 (E.D.N.C. Oct. 7,
2020). 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
