No. 21-6979

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff - Appellee,

v.

WILLIAM JAMES MORRISON, III,

Defendant - Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of North Carolina, at Statesville. Kenneth D. Bell, District Judge. (5:10-cr-00025-KDB-DCK-1)

Submitted: November 18, 2021 Decided: November 22, 2021

Before MOTZ, THACKER, and HARRIS, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

William James Morrison, III, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

William James Morrison, III, 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. See United States v. Kibble,

(4th Cir. 2021)

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

motions), cert. denied, No. 21-5624,

(U.S. Oct. 12, 2021). 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
