L. No. 115391, § 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 Rahman’s sentence. Accordingly, we deny Rahman’s motion for a limited remand and affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. United States v. Rahman, No. 7:08-cr-00126-D-1 (E.D.N.C. Apr. 17, 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 2
