        PER CURIAM:

              Mathew Byrd appeals the district court’s order denying his third motion for

        compassionate release under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A). We have reviewed the record and

        find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. See United

        States v. Byrd, No. 3:19-cr-00080-1 (S.D.W. Va. Dec. 1, 2021). We also deny his pending

        motion for compassionate release, which should be directed to the sentencing court in the

        first instance. See United States v. Raia, 954 F.3d 594, 596 (3d Cir. 2020). 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
