PER CURIAM:
William James Morrison, III, appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his
18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A)(i) motion for compassionate release. Upon review, we discern
no abuse of discretion. See United States v. Kibble, 992 F.3d 326, 329-31 (4th Cir. 2021)
(providing standard of review and outlining steps for evaluating compassionate release
motions), cert. denied, No. 21-5624, 2021 WL 4733616 (U.S. Oct. 12, 2021). 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
