PER CURIAM:

Martinez Orlandis Black appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for

compassionate release brought pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A), as amended by the

First Step Act of 2018, Pub. L. No. 115-391, 132 Stat. 5194. We have reviewed the record

and conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying the requested

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

review). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. United States v. Black,

No. 3:06-cr-00364-RJC-1 (W.D.N.C. Aug. 29, 2023). 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
