PER CURIAM:
Richard Allen Patterson appeals the district court’s order denying his 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. We have
reviewed the record and conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in
denying relief. See United States v. Kibble, 992 F.3d 326, 329 (4th Cir.) (stating standard
of review), cert. denied, 142 S. Ct. 383 (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
