PER CURIAM:

Roy Alanzo Rhymer, III, appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for

compassionate release pursuant to

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

Act of 2018,

Stat. 5194. We review the district court’s order for

abuse of discretion. See United States v. Kibble,

(4th Cir.), cert. denied,

(2021). A district court abuses its discretion when it “acts arbitrarily or

irrationally, . . . fails to consider judicially recognized factors constraining its exercise of

discretion, . . . relies on erroneous factual or legal premises, or . . . commits an error of

law.” United States v. High,

(4th Cir. 2021) (cleaned up). After

reviewing the record in this case, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its

discretion in weighing the

(a) factors and concluding they did not support

granting Rhymer’s motion. Therefore, 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
