USCA4 Appeal: 22-6652 Doc: 9 Filed: 07/17/2023 Pg: 2 of 2

PER CURIAM: Jeffrey Roy Crosby appeals the district court’s orders 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. Having reviewed the record, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in ruling that the pertinent 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors weighed against compassionate release. See United States v. High, 997 F.3d 181, 185-87 (4th Cir. 2021); see also United States v. Ferguson, 55 F.4th 262, 272 (4th Cir. 2022) (“[A] compassionate release motion cannot be used to challenge the validity of a defendant’s conviction or sentence.”), petition for cert. filed, No. 22-1216 (U.S. June 16, 2023). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s orders. 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
