PER CURIAM:

Ernest Dailey appeals the district court’s order denying his

(c)(1)(A) motion for compassionate release. We have reviewed the record and find

no abuse of discretion in the district court’s conclusion that, even if extraordinary and

compelling reasons existed, the

(a) factors did not warrant release. See

United States v. Kibble,

(4th Cir.) (stating standard of review), cert.

denied,

(2021). Accordingly, we affirm. United States v. Dailey, No.

7:14-cr-00072-BO-1 (E.D.N.C. Apr. 27, 2022). 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
