UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 22-6100 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff - Appellee, v. ELLISON LAKELL COOPER, Defendant - Appellant. Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, at Florence. Terry L. Wooten, Senior District Judge. (4:12-cr-00520-TLW-1) Submitted: April 14, 2022 Decided: April 19, 2022 Before DIAZ and RUSHING, Circuit Judges, and KEENAN, Senior Circuit Judge. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Ellison Lakell Cooper, Appellant Pro Se. Everett E. McMillian, Assistant United States Attorney, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Florence, South Carolina, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Ellison Lakell Cooper appeals from the district court’s order denying his motion for compassionate release pursuant to
18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A), as amended by the First Step Act of 2018, Pub. L. No. 115-391, § 603(b)(1),
132 Stat. 5194, 5239. We review a district court’s denial of a compassionate release motion for abuse of discretion. United States v. Kibble,
992 F.3d 326, 329 (4th Cir.), cert. denied,
142 S. Ct. 383(2021). We have reviewed the record in this case and discern no abuse of discretion. 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 * We decline to consider Cooper’s argument, raised for the first time on appeal, that the district court allegedly failed to pronounce all discretionary supervised release terms at his original sentencing. See In re Under Seal,
749 F.3d 276, 285 (4th Cir. 2014) (“Our settled rule is simple: absent exceptional circumstances, we do not consider issues raised for the first time on appeal.” (cleaned up)). 2
