Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM: Robert Torres 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. After reviewing the record, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Torres’ 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. Torres, No. 7:18-cr-00063-BO-1 (E.D.N.C. Sept. 22, 2020), and deny Torres’ request to appoint him counsel. 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.
