PER CURIAM:
Tracy Vernon Osborne appeals the district court's order denying his motion for
compassionate release under 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 on appeal, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying
the motion for compassionate release. See United States v. High, __ F.3d __, __, No.
20-7350, 2021 WL 1823289, at *6 (4th Cir. Apr. 21, 2021) (rejecting argument that district
court must invariably address defendant's arguments on record in denying motion for
compassionate release). Accordingly, we affirm. United States v. Osborne, No.
2:15-cr-00015-JPJ-16 (W.D. Va. Aug. 20, 2020). 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
