PER CURIAM:
Marquis Larosa Buckley appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for
compassionate release pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A)(i), as amended by the First
Step Act of 2018, Pub. L. No. 115-391, § 603(b)(1), 132 Stat. 5194, 5239. We review the
district court’s order for abuse of discretion. See United States v. Kibble, 992 F.3d 326,
329 (4th Cir. 2021). We have reviewed the record and conclude that the district court did
not abuse its discretion in weighing the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors and concluding that
they did not support Buckley’s release.
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
