James Latron Sumter, Appellant Pro Se. Everett E. McMillian, Assistant United States
Attorney, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Florence, South Carolina,
for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

       James Latron Sumter appeals the district court’s order denying his motions 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.) (providing standard of review and

outlining steps for evaluating compassionate release motions), 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
