PER CURIAM:
Kiias Demetrias Stockton, a federal prisoner, appeals from the district court’s order
denying his second motion for compassionate release pursuant to 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 ruling that the pertinent 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors
weighed against compassionate release. See United States v. Kibble, 992 F.3d 326, 329
(4th Cir. 2021). Accordingly, we affirm. 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
