UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff - Appellant, v. Brian Antwanine JOHNSON, a/k/a Fudd, Defendant - Appellee.
United States of America, Plaintiff - Appellant, v. Douglas Washington, a/k/a Slink, Defendant - Appellee.
In these consolidated cases, the Government appeals the district court's orders granting the motions of Brian Antwanine Johnson and Douglas Washington for sentence reductions under the First Step Act of 2018, Pub. L. No. 115-391, 132 Stat. 5194. We have reviewed the record included on appeal, as well as the parties’ briefs, and we find no reversible error. See United States v. Wirsing, 943 F.3d 175 (4th Cir. 2019); see also United States v. Gravatt, 953 F.3d 258 (4th Cir. 2020). Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. See United States v. Johnson, No. 1:98-cr-00283-LMB-1 (E.D. Va. July 3, 2019); United States v. Washington, No. 1:09-cr-00121-LMB-5 (E.D. Va. July 1, 2019). In light of this disposition, we deny as moot the Appellees’ motions for summary affirmance. 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.
