UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Mark Anthony JONES, Defendant-Appellant.
Mark Anthony Jones appeals the district court's order denying his motion for reduction of sentence pursuant to section 404 of the First Step Act of 2018, Pub. L. No. 115-391, § 404, 132 Stat. 5194, 5222 (2018), confining his appeal to the court's determination that he did not qualify for a sentence reduction because his offenses of conviction were not covered offenses. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we grant Jones’ application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis and affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. United States v. Jones, No. 4:05-cr-00083-RBH-1 (D.S.C. Apr. 29, 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
PER CURIAM:
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
