    The United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit affirmed a district court's order granting Charles Richard Edwards's motion for a reduction in his sentence of imprisonment. The court reviewed the record and found no reversible error. It affirmed the district court's decision for the reasons stated in its order and in a recent Fourth Circuit decision that held a district court has discretion, but is not required, to reduce a defendant's sentence under 18 U.S.C. 3582(c)(2).
