PER CURIAM
David Perez Garcia appeals the district court's order denying his motions as supplemented for a sentence reduction under § 404(b) of the First Step Act of 2018, Pub. L. No. 115-391, 132 Stat. 5194, 5222, and for compassionate release pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A). Upon review, we discern no abuse of discretion in the court's rulings on these motions. See United States v. Reed, 58 F.4th 816, 819 (4th Cir. 2023) (providing standard of review of the denial of relief under § 404(b) of the First Step Act); United States v. Kibble, 992 F.3d 326, 329 (4th Cir. 2021) (stating standard of review for compassionate release motions). Accordingly, we affirm the district court's order. United States v. Garcia, No. 3:01-cr-00036-FDW-1 (W.D. N.C. Apr. 3, 2023). We deny Garcia's motion for the 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.
