Attorney, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Raleigh, North Carolina,
for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

       Eddie Wayne Snead appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for

compassionate release under 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. After reviewing the

record, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in determining that

the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors weighed against granting compassionate release in Snead’s

case. See United States v. Kibble, 992 F.3d 326, 329 (4th Cir. 2021) (per curiam) (stating

standard of review). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order on this basis. United

States v. Snead, No. 5:09-cr-00281-H-1 (E.D.N.C. Mar. 16, 2021). 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
