PER CURIAM:
Rodney Wayne Barnes 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. Upon review of the
record, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Barnes’
motion. See United States v. Chambliss, 948 F.3d 691, 693 (5th Cir. 2020) (stating
standard). Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. United States
v. Barnes, No. 3:10-cr-00032-NKM-1 (W.D. Va. Sept. 2, 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
