PER CURIAM:

       Robert Torres 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. After reviewing

the record, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Torres’

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

of review). Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court, United

States v. Torres, No. 7:18-cr-00063-BO-1 (E.D.N.C. Sept. 22, 2020), and deny Torres’

request to appoint him counsel. 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
