States Attorney, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Baltimore, Maryland,
for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

       Delshawn Christopher Babb 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, we discern no abuse of discretion in the district court’s determination that, under

the pertinent 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing factors, compassionate release was not

warranted. 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
