UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 22-6134 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff - Appellee, v. JARED BRUTON, Defendant - Appellant. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina, at Greensboro. N. Carlton Tilley, Jr., Senior District Judge. (1:01-cr-00263-NCT-1) Submitted: June 28, 2022 Decided: July 1, 2022 Before NIEMEYER and HEYTENS, Circuit Judges, and TRAXLER, Senior Circuit Judge. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Jared Bruton, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Jared Bruton appeals the district court’s order granting in part his motion for a sentence reduction pursuant to Section 404(b) of the First Step Act, Pub L. No. 115-391, 132 Stat. 5194, and reducing Bruton’s sentence and supervised release term but declining to reduce Bruton’s sentence further. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. The district court considered the revised statutory range, the advisory Sentencing Guidelines range, the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors, and Bruton’s rehabilitative efforts. See United States v. Collington, 995 F.3d 347, 358-61 (4th Cir. 2021). However, the court reasonably determined that the nature and circumstances of Bruton’s offense, as well as his criminal history, weighed against a further reduction. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. United States v. Bruton, No. 1:01-cr-00263-NCT-1 (M.D.N.C. Jan. 20, 2022). 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
