PER CURIAM:
Antonio Rodriguez Cross appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for
compassionate release pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A)(i). 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. High, 997 F.3d 181, 185 (4th Cir. 2021) (providing standard of review).
Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. 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
