PER CURIAM:
Carl Clark 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. After reviewing the record, we
conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Clark’s motion for
compassionate release. See United States v. Kibble, 992 F.3d 326, 329 (4th Cir. 2021) (per
curiam) (stating standard). Accordingly, 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
