PER CURIAM:
Edward Clinton Jones, III, appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for
compassionate release pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A)(i). We have reviewed the
record and conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Jones’
motion. See United States v. Kibble, 992 F.3d 326, 329 (4th Cir. 2021) (stating standard
of review). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. 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
