PER CURIAM:
Claude Sloan appeals the district court's order denying his motion for compassionate release under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A)(i), as amended by the First Step Act of 2018, Pub. L. No. 115-391, § 603(b)(1), 132 Stat. 5194, 5239. Having reviewed the record and finding no reversible error, we affirm the decision of the district court. See United States v. Sloan, Nos. 2:00-cr-10101-JPJ-1; 2:18-CR-00004-JPJ-1 (W.D. Va. July 16, 2020). We deny Sloan's motion to appoint 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
