PER CURIAM:
Oscar Roberto Santos appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his 18
U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A)(i) motion for compassionate release based on the COVID-19
pandemic. We review the district court’s order for abuse of discretion. See United States
v. Kibble, 992 F.3d 326, 329 (4th Cir.), cert. denied, 142 S. Ct. 383 (2021). Upon review
of the record, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying
Santos’ motion. See United States v. High, 997 F.3d 181, 187-91 (4th Cir. 2021).
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
