Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

       Ernest Charles McNeill, III, 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. After reviewing the

record, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying McNeill’s

motion. See United States v. Kibble, 992 F.3d 326, 329 (4th Cir. 2021) (stating standard

of review). Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. United

States v. McNeill, No. 5:10-cr-00241-D-1 (E.D.N.C. Oct. 13, 2020). We deny McNeill’s

motion to appoint counsel. 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
