PER CURIAM:
Erskine A. Dawson, Jr., appeals the district court’s order denying Dawson’s 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
Dawson’s motion. See United States v. Kibble, 992 F.3d 326, 329 (4th Cir.) (stating
standard of review), cert. denied, 142 S. Ct. 383 (2021). We therefore affirm the district
court’s order. United States v. Dawson, No. 2:17-cr-00061-RAJ-LRL-2 (E.D. Va. Aug. 13,
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
