PER CURIAM:
Billy Charles Burgess appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for
compassionate release pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A)(i). We have reviewed the
record on appeal and conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying
Burgess’ motion. See United States v. Kibble, 992 F.3d 326, 329 (4th Cir. 2021) (providing
standard). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. United States v. Burgess,
No. 5:08-cr-00341-D-1 (E.D.N.C. Aug. 17, 2023). We deny Burgess’ motion for
appointment of counsel and to expedite. 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
