No. 21-6467

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff - Appellee,

v.

EDWARD CLINTON JONES, III,

Defendant - Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, at Charleston. Richard Mark Gergel, District Judge. (2:14-cr-00342-RMG-1)

Submitted: October 25, 2021 Decided: November 1, 2021

Before WYNN, DIAZ, and FLOYD, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Jeremy A. Thompson, Assistant Federal Public Defender, OFFICE OF THE FEDERAL PUBLIC DEFENDER, Columbia, South Carolina, for Appellant. M. Rhett DeHart, Acting United States Attorney, Columbia, South Carolina, Nathan S. Williams, Assistant United States Attorney, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Charleston, South Carolina, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Edward Clinton Jones, III, appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for

compassionate release pursuant to

(c)(1)(A)(i). We have reviewed the

record and conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Jones’

motion. See United States v. Kibble,

(4th Cir. 2021) (stating standard

of review). 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
