UNPUBLISHED
Submitted: August 29, 2022

Before KING and AGEE, Circuit Judges, and FLOYD, Senior Circuit Judge.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Jason Cross appeals the district court's order denying his counseled motion for compassionate release under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A) and dismissing his pro se motion for compassionate release as moot.[*] We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court's order. See United States v. Cross, No. 4:14-cr-00003-AWA-LRL-3 (E.D. Va. Mar. 17, 2021). 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
[*] To the extent that Cross' informal brief constitutes an untimely notice of appeal of the district court's prior June 18, 2020, order denying his motion for a sentence reduction under First Step Act § 404, we affirm the district court's order. Cross was convicted and sentenced in October 2014, and he is not eligible for a sentence reduction under First Step Act § 404. See United States v. Goodwin, 37 F.4th 948, 954 (4th Cir. 2022).
