PER CURIAM:
William Andrew Merritt appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for
compassionate release. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.
Accordingly, we deny Merritt’s motion for appointment of counsel and affirm for the
reasons stated by the district court. United States v. Merritt, No. 4:18-cr-00016-AWA-
LRL-1 (E.D. Va. filed Aug. 2, 2021; entered Aug. 5, 2021). 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
