UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 20-6986 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff - Appellee, v. RODNEY EARL CANNADY, a/k/a Camp Earl, Defendant - Appellant. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, at Raleigh. James C. Dever III, District Judge. (5:08-cr-00258-D-1) Submitted: March 16, 2021 Decided: March 23, 2021 Before AGEE, THACKER, and HARRIS, Circuit Judges. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Rodney Earl Cannady, Appellant Pro Se. Jennifer P. May-Parker, Assistant United States Attorney, Kristine L. Fritz, Assistant United States Attorney, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Raleigh, North Carolina, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Rodney Earl Cannady appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his motion for a sentence reduction pursuant to the First Step Act of 2018, Pub. L. No. 115-391, § 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 Cannady’s sentence. See United States v. Jackson, 952 F.3d 492, 497 (4th Cir. 2020) (reviewing ruling on First Step Act motion for abuse of discretion). Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. United States v. Cannady, No. 5:08-cr-00258-D-1 (E.D.N.C. June 29, 2020). We deny Cannady’s motion for 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. AFFIRMED 2
