UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff - Appellee,
v.
JOEY ANTRONE CARROLL,
Defendant - Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of North Carolina, at Statesville. Kenneth D. Bell, District Judge. (5:18-cr-00048-KDB-DSC-4)
Submitted: November 23, 2021 Decided: November 29, 2021
Before NIEMEYER, FLOYD, and RUSHING, Circuit Judges.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Joey Antrone Carroll, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:
Joey Antrone Carroll appeals the district court’s order denying his
18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A)(i) motion for compassionate release. After reviewing the record, we
conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Carroll’s motion. See
United States v. Kibble,
992 F.3d 326, 329(4th Cir. 2021) (stating standard of review),
cert. denied, No. 21-5624,
2021 WL 4733616(U.S. Oct. 12, 2021); see also United States
v. High,
997 F.3d 181, 189(4th Cir. 2021) (affirming district court order denying
compassionate release where “[t]he court’s rationale . . . was both rational and legitimate
under [
18 U.S.C. § 3553(a)]” and “the court sufficiently explained its denial to allow for
meaningful appellate review” (internal quotation marks omitted)). We therefore affirm the
district court’s order. United States v. Carroll, No. 5:18-cr-00048-KDB-DSC-4 (W.D.N.C.
entered July 27, 2020 & filed July 28, 2020). 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.
