PER CURIAM:
James W. Bailey, Jr., appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his 18
U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A) motion for compassionate release. Upon review, we discern no
abuse of discretion in the district court’s determination that, under the pertinent 18 U.S.C.
§ 3553(a) sentencing factors, compassionate release was not warranted. 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). Accordingly, we 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
