PER CURIAM:
Dacey Maurice Jones appeals 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, and his motion for
appointment of counsel. On appeal, Jones does not raise a substantive challenge to the
court’s denial of his motion for compassionate release but, instead, asserts a series of
procedural objections. Finding no merit to those objections, we affirm the district court’s
judgment. 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
