PER CURIAM:
Jeffrey Roy Crosby appeals the district court’s orders 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. Having reviewed the
record, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in ruling that the
pertinent 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors weighed against compassionate release. See United
States v. High, 997 F.3d 181, 185-87 (4th Cir. 2021); see also United States v. Ferguson,
55 F.4th 262, 272 (4th Cir. 2022) (“[A] compassionate release motion cannot be used to
challenge the validity of a defendant’s conviction or sentence.”), petition for cert. filed,
No. 22-1216 (U.S. June 16, 2023). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s orders. 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
