PER CURIAM:

Raymond Idemudia Aigbekaen 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.) (providing standard of review and

outlining steps for evaluating compassionate release motions), cert. denied, 142 S. Ct. 383

(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

* Because our review of the record confirms that Aigbekaen timely appealed the district court’s April 18, 2022, order, we deny the Government’s motion to dismiss this appeal as untimely.
