PER CURIAM:
Kunta Kenta Redd appeals the district court’s order denying his motions seeking a
sentence reduction under the First Step Act of 2018 (the act), his motions filed under
various rules, his motion seeking a reduction of sentence under Fed. R. Crim. P. 35(b), and
his motion seeking recusal and reassignment of the case to another district judge. Redd
confines his appeal to the district court’s denial of relief under the act and its denial of his
recusal and reassignment request. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible
error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. United States v.
Redd, No. 7:08-cr-00043-D-1 (E.D.N.C. Apr. 3, 2020). We deny Redd’s motions to
appoint counsel and for a certificate of appealability and 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
