PER CURIAM:
Adrian Paulino appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for
compassionate release pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A), as amended by the First Step
Act of 2018, Pub. L. No. 115-391, § 603(b)(1), 132 Stat. 5194, 5239. After reviewing the
record, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Paulino’s
motion for compassionate release. See United States v. Kibble, 992 F.3d 326, 329 (4th Cir.
2021) (per curiam) (stating standard). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s judgment.
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
