UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff - Appellee,

v.

JON LAWRENCE FRANK,

Defendant - Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Alexandria. Leonie M. Brinkema, District Judge. (1:17-cr-00114-LMB-MSN-1)

Submitted: October 14, 2021 Decided: October 19, 2021

Before DIAZ and QUATTLEBAUM, Circuit Judges, and KEENAN, Senior Circuit Judge.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Jon Lawrence Frank, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Jon Lawrence Frank appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his 18 U.S.C.

§ 3582(c)(1)(A)(i) motion for compassionate release. 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, 329-31 (4th Cir. 2021) (providing standard of review and outlining

steps for evaluating compassionate release motions), petition for cert. filed, No. 21-5624

(U.S. Sept. 8, 2021). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s judgment. 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
