JOHN K. BUSH, Circuit Judge. In 2008, Jesse Rondale Bailey received a sentence of 360 months’ imprisonment as a career offender for the possession and distribution of crack cocaine and powder cocaine. After the passage of the First Step Act in 2018, he moved for a sentence reduction. The district court denied his motion, and Bailey appealed. Because the district court’s denial of Bailey’s motion was not an abuse of discretion, we affirm.

OPINION
_________________________

JOHN K. BUSH, Circuit Judge. Deandre Lipford died tragically after he overdosed while detained in the Detroit Detention Center. At the jail that night, Officer Clyde Lewis was in charge of making rounds, but he failed to physically enter the holding area to check on Lipford as required by jail operating procedures. Veronica Hyman, Lipford’s representative, sued Lewis and others, claiming several violations of Lipford’s constitutional rights and state law. The district court granted summary judgment to Lewis, denying Hyman’s deliberate-indifference claim. For the following reasons, we affirm.
