        PER CURIAM:

               Jay B. Ledford appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for

        compassionate release pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A)(i). We have reviewed the

        record on appeal and conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying

        Ledford’s motion. See United States v. Kibble, 992 F.3d 326, 329 (2021) (stating standard

        of review), cert. denied, 142 S. Ct. 383 (2021). 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

                                                     2
