Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Eugene Williams, Appellant Pro Se. David A. Bragdon, Assistant United States Attorney, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Raleigh, North Carolina, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Eugene Williams appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for

compassionate release under

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. After reviewing the

record, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Williams’

motion. See United States v. Kibble,

992 F.3d 326, 329

(4th Cir. 2021) (stating standard

of review). Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. United

States v. Williams, No. 4:15-cr-00049-BO-1 (E.D.N.C. Oct. 12, 2020). 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.
