PER CURIAM:
David Alexander Culver appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for
compassionate release pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A)(i), as amended by the First
Step Act of 2018, Pub. L. No. 115-391, § 603(b)(1), 132 Stat. 5194, 5239. Upon review,
we discern no abuse of discretion in the district court determination that Culver did not
establish extraordinary and compelling reasons justifying early release, nor in its
explanation of its denial of Culver’s motion. See United States v. Jenkins, 22 F.4th 162,
170-71 (4th Cir. 2021). We therefore affirm the district court’s order. 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
