PER CURIAM:
Derrick Rondell Battle appeals from the district court’s orders denying his motion
for compassionate release, pursuant to 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, and his
subsequent motions for reconsideration. Upon review of the record, we discern no abuse
of discretion in the district court’s determination that the pertinent 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a)
factors weighed against compassionate release. See United States v. Kibble, 992 F.3d 326,
329 (4th Cir.) (stating standard of review), cert. denied, 142 S. Ct. 383 (2021).
Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s orders. 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
