PER CURIAM:

Mathew Byrd appeals the district court’s order denying his third motion for

compassionate release under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A). We have reviewed the record and

find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. See United

States v. Byrd, No. 3:19-cr-00080-1 (S.D.W. Va. Dec. 1, 2021). We also deny his pending

motion for compassionate release, which should be directed to the sentencing court in the

first instance. See United States v. Raia, 954 F.3d 594, 596 (3d Cir. 2020). 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
