PER CURIAM:

Murace Hewitt appeals from the district court’s order denying his motion for

compassionate release, pursuant to

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

Step Act of 2018,

(b)(1),

, 5239. After reviewing

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

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

(4th Cir.), cert. denied,

(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
