Frederick Lynn Sellers, Appellant Pro Se. Lauren L. Hummel, Assistant United States
Attorney, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Florence, South Carolina,
for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Frederick Lynn Sellers appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for
reduction of sentence under the First Step Act of 2018, Pub. L. No. 115-391, § 404,
132 Stat. 5194, 5222 (“2018 FSA”). Having reviewed the record, we conclude that the
district court did not reversibly err in declining to reduce Sellers’ sentence as an exercise
of discretion because that sentence was based on his conviction for kidnapping resulting in
death. * Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s judgment. United States v. Sellers,
No. 4:01-cr-00058-RBH-1 (D.S.C. Apr. 25, 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
*
The district court determined that Sellers was not eligible for a sentence reduction
under the 2018 FSA and, alternatively, that a sentence reduction was not warranted as an
exercise of its discretion. We affirm on the district court’s alternative holding.
