USCA4 Appeal: 22-6956 Doc: 9 Filed: 02/22/2023 Pg: 2 of 2

PER CURIAM: Ronnie Bowman appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for compassionate release pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A), as amended by the First Step Act of 2018, Pub. L. No. 115-391, § 603(b)(1), 132 Stat. 5194, 5239. We review a district court’s order granting or denying a compassionate release motion for abuse of discretion.

See United States v. Kibble, 992 F.3d 326, 329 (4th Cir.) (providing standard), cert. denied, 142 S. Ct. 383 (2021). We have reviewed the record and conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying relief after analyzing the relevant 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors. See United States v. High, 997 F.3d 181, 189 (4th Cir. 2021).

Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. United States v. Bowman, No. 3:01-cr-00349-CMC-1 (D.S.C. Aug. 8, 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
