Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

       Davin Jerome Stewart appeals the district court’s order denying his 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. Upon review,

we discern no abuse of discretion in the district court’s determination that Stewart did not

establish extraordinary and compelling reasons warranting his early release. See United

States v. Kibble, 992 F.3d 326, 329–30 (4th Cir. 2021) (providing standard of review and

outlining steps for evaluating compassionate release motions). 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
