UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff - Appellee,

v.

DAVONTE ANTONIO SMITH,

Defendant - Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of North Carolina, at Charlotte. Max O. Cogburn, Jr., District Judge. (3:14-cr-00262-MOC-1)

Submitted: April 27, 2021 Decided: May 3, 2021

Before KEENAN, WYNN, and FLOYD, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Davonte Antonio Smith, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Davonte Antonio Smith appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his

(c)(1)(A)(i) motion for compassionate release. Upon review, we discern no

abuse of discretion in the district court’s determination that, under the pertinent

(a) sentencing factors, compassionate release was not warranted. See United States

v. Kibble, __ F.3d __, __, No. 20-7009,

, at *2-4 (4th Cir. Apr. 1, 2021)

(providing standard of review and outlining steps for evaluating compassionate release

motions). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s judgment. 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
