No. 21-6886

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff - Appellee,

v.

INDIA PERLETA SMITH,

Defendant - Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Richmond. Henry E. Hudson, Senior District Judge. (3:10-cr-00210-HEH-DJN-1)

Submitted: December 16, 2021 Decided: December 17, 2021

Before WYNN and RICHARDSON, Circuit Judges, and KEENAN, Senior Circuit Judge.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

India Perleta Smith, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

India Perleta Smith appeals the district court’s order denying her motion for

compassionate release under

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

Act of 2018,

(b)(1),

, 5239. We have reviewed

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

Smith’s motion. See United States v. Kibble,

(4th Cir. 2021) (stating

standard of review), cert. denied, 21-5624,

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

also United States v. High,

(4th Cir. 2021) (affirming district court’s

order denying compassionate release where “[t]he court’s rationale . . . was both rational

and legitimate under [

(a)]” and “the court sufficiently explained its denial

to allow for meaningful appellate review” (internal quotation marks omitted)).

Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. United States v. Smith,

No. 3:10-cr-00210-HEH-DJN-1 (E.D. Va. May 21, 2021). 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
