PER CURIAM:

Juan Mendoza appeals the district court's order denying his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(B), (2) (2012) motion for a sentence reduction pursuant to the First Step Act of 2018, Pub. L. No. 115-391, § 404, 132 Stat. 5194, 5222 (2018), and Amendments 750 and 782 to the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. United States v. Mendoza, No. 3:08-cr-00590-CMC-1 (D.S.C. Apr. 15, 2019). 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
