PER CURIAM:
Deontrayvia Adams appeals the district court’s order denying his 18 U.S.C.
§ 3582(c)(1)(A)(i) motions for compassionate release. After reviewing the record, we
conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in determining that the 18 U.S.C.
§ 3553(a) factors weighed against granting compassionate release in Adams’ case.
See United States v. Kibble, 992 F.3d 326, 329 (4th Cir. 2021) (per curiam) (stating
standard of review). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order on this basis. United
States v. Adams, No. 5:07-cr-00006-FL-1 (E.D.N.C. May 20, 2021). We deny Adams’
motion to appoint counsel and 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
