PER CURIAM:
Robert Peter Russell appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his 18
U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A)(i) motion for compassionate release. Upon review, we discern no
abuse of discretion in the district court’s determination that, under the pertinent 18 U.S.C.
§ 3553(a) sentencing factors, compassionate release was not warranted. See United States
v. Kibble, 992 F.3d 326, 329-31 (4th Cir.) (providing standard of review and outlining steps
for evaluating compassionate release motions), cert. denied, 142 S. Ct. 383 (2021).
Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s judgment. 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
