UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

                    Plaintiff - Appellee,

             v.

JIMMY CARLTON GILFILLAN, JR.,

                    Defendant - Appellant.

Jimmy Carlton Gilfillan, Jr., Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

      Jimmy Carlton Gilfillan, Jr., appeals the district court’s order construing Gilfillan’s

motion for appointment for counsel as a motion for compassionate release pursuant to

18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A)(i), as amended by the First Step Act of 2018, Pub. L. No. 115-

391, § 603(b)(1), 132 Stat. 5194, 5239, and denying both motions. We review a district

court’s denial of a motion for compassionate release for an abuse of discretion. United

States v. Kibble, 992 F.3d 326, 329 (4th Cir. 2021). We have reviewed the record and find

no reversible error. 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
