PER CURIAM:
Olden Terry, III, a federal prisoner, appeals the district court’s order denying his
motion for compassionate release pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A)(i), 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 Terry’s motion. See United States v. Kibble, 992 F.3d 326, 329 (4th Cir.), cert.
denied, 142 S. Ct. 383 (2021); see also United States v. High, 997 F.3d 181, 189 (4th Cir.
2021) (affirming district court order denying compassionate release where “[t]he court’s
rationale . . . was both rational and legitimate under [18 U.S.C. § 3553(a)]” and “the court
sufficiently explained its denial to allow for meaningful appellate review” (internal
quotation marks omitted)). We therefore affirm the district court’s order. United States v.
Terry, No. 7:12-cr-00036-BO-1 (E.D.N.C. June 17, 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
