PER CURIAM:
Sharay Lavon Williams appeals from the district court’s order denying his 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. After
reviewing the record, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in
denying Williams’ motion. See United States v. Kibble, 992 F.3d 326, 329 (4th Cir.
2021) (stating standard of review). Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the
district court. United States v. Williams, No. 2:16-cr-00006-BO-1 (E.D.N.C. Oct. 12,
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
