PER CURIAM:
Shaun Orlando Grier appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for
compassionate release pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A). We have reviewed the
record on appeal and conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying
Grier’s motion. See United States v. Kibble, 992 F.3d 326, 329 (4th Cir.) (providing
standard), cert. denied, 142 S. Ct. 383 (2021). Accordingly, we deny the motion for
appointment of counsel and affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. United States
v. Grier, No. 8:13-cr-00243-PWG-1 (D. Md. July 26, 2021). 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
