UNITED STATES v. CANNADY (2021)

United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.

UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff - Appellee, v. Rodney Earl CANNADY, a/k/a Camp Earl, Defendant - Appellant.

No. 20-6986

Decided: March 23, 2021

Before AGEE, THACKER, and HARRIS, Circuit Judges.

Rodney Earl Cannady, Appellant Pro Se. Jennifer P. May-Parker, Assistant United States Attorney, Kristine L. Fritz, Assistant United States Attorney, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Raleigh, North Carolina, for Appellee.

Rodney Earl Cannady appeals the district court's order denying relief on his motion for a sentence reduction pursuant to the First Step Act of 2018, Pub. L. No. 115-391, § 404, 132 Stat. 5194, 5222. We have reviewed the record and find that the district court did not abuse its discretion in declining to reduce Cannady's sentence. See United States v. Jackson, 952 F.3d 492, 497 (4th Cir. 2020) (reviewing ruling on First Step Act motion for abuse of discretion). Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. United States v. Cannady, No. 5:08-cr-00258-D-1 (E.D.N.C. June 29, 2020). We deny Cannady's motion for appointment of counsel. 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.
