Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, at Raleigh. James C. Dever III, District Judge. (5:07-cr-00169-D-1) Submitted: March 29, 2022 Decided: April 1, 2022 Before HARRIS, QUATTLEBAUM, and HEYTENS, Circuit Judges. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Wallace Thomas Lester, Appellant Pro Se. David A. Bragdon, Assistant United States Attorney, Lucy Partain Brown, Assistant United States Attorney, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Raleigh, North Carolina, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Wallace Thomas Lester appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his
18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A)(i) motion for compassionate release based on the COVID-19 pandemic. We review the district court’s order for abuse of discretion. See United States v. Kibble,
992 F.3d 326, 329 (4th Cir.), cert. denied,
142 S. Ct. 383(2021). Upon review of the record, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Lester’s motion. See United States v. High,
997 F.3d 181, 187-91 (4th Cir. 2021). 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 2
