Carolina, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

       Anthony Julius Scroggins, Sr., 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. Upon

review of the record, we discern no abuse of discretion in the district court’s determination

that the pertinent 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors weighed against compassionate release. See

United States v. Kibble, 992 F.3d 326, 329 (4th Cir. 2021) (providing standard of review

and outlining steps for evaluating compassionate release motions). 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
