UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff - Appellee, v. WILLIAM JAMES MORRISON, III, Defendant - Appellant.

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Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.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Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A)(i) motion for compassionate release. Upon review, we discern no abuse of discretion. See United States v. Kibble, 992 F.3d 326, 329-31 (4th Cir. 2021) (providing standard of review and outlining steps for evaluating compassionate release motions), cert. denied, No. 21-5624, 2021 WL 4733616 (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
