UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 21-6402

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff - Appellee,

v.

ARNOLD BURGESS, a/k/a True, a/k/a T, a/k/a Nephew,

Defendant - Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Newport News. Raymond A. Jackson, District Judge. (4:17-cr-00065-RAJ-LRL-7)

Submitted: July 29, 2021 Decided: October 18, 2021

Before AGEE, HARRIS, and RUSHING, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Arnold Burgess, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Arnold Burgess appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for

compassionate release pursuant to

(c)(1)(A)(i), as amended by the First

Step Act of 2018,

(b)(1),

, 5239. Upon review,

we discern no abuse of discretion in the district court’s determination that Burgess did not

establish extraordinary and compelling reasons warranting his early release. See United

States v. Kibble,

, 329–30 (4th Cir. 2021) (providing standard of review and

outlining steps for evaluating compassionate release motions). Accordingly, we affirm the

district court’s order. 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
