SHAREEF WILLIAMS,

Shareef Williams, Appellant Pro Se. Justin William Holloway, Assistant United States
Attorney, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Greenville, South Carolina,
for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

       Shareef Williams, a federal prisoner, appeals from 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.

Upon review of 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, 188-91 (4th Cir. 2021). Accordingly, we

affirm. 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
