PER CURIAM:
Kipper Ken King, a federal prisoner, 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.
Upon review of the record, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion
in denying King’s motion. See United States v. High, 997 F.3d 181, 185 (4th Cir. 2021).
Accordingly, we affirm. 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
