PER CURIAM: Claude Sloan appeals the district court’s order denying his fourth 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. Aug. 19, 2021). 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
