PER CURIAM:
Shannon Derrell Williams appeals the district court’s amended 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. 3:02-cr-00085-JAG-1 (E.D. Va. Feb. 23, 2021). 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
