Submitted: February 24, 2022                                      Decided: March 1, 2022

James Thomas Hancock, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

       James Thomas Hancock appeals the district court’s order denying his renewed

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 conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Hancock’s

motion. See United States v. Kibble, 992 F.3d 326, 329-30 (4th Cir.) (providing standard),

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
