(3:00-cr-00057-GMG-16) Submitted: February 23, 2021 Decided: February 26, 2021 Before MOTZ, KEENAN, and HARRIS, Circuit Judges. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Michael Paul Puzey, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Michael Paul Puzey appeals the district court’s order denying his motion to reconsider a prior order granting in part his motion seeking relief under the First Step Act of 2018, Pub. L. No. 115-391, 132 Stat. 5194. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. United States v. Puzey, No. 3:00-cr-00057-GMG-16 (N.D.W. Va. Sept. 2, 2020). We deny Puzey’s motions for appointment of counsel and for a stay pending appeal. 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
