        PER CURIAM:

               Richard Allen Patterson appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for

        compassionate release, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A), as amended by the First

        Step Act of 2018, Pub. L. No. 115-391, § 603(b)(1), 132 Stat. 5194, 5239. We have

        reviewed the record and conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in

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

        of review), 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

                                                     2
