Rene Ellis, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

       Rene Ellis appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for compassionate

release under 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. We have reviewed the record and find

no reversible error. See United States v. High, 997 F.3d 181, 186-87 (4th Cir. 2021); United

States v. McCoy, 981 F.3d 271 (4th Cir. 2020). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s

order. See United States v. Ellis, No. 3:01-cr-01024-CMC-7 (D.S.C., Mar. 8, 2021). We

grant Ellis’ motion to seal his informal brief. 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
