Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Vincent Donta White appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for
compassionate release under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A)(i). We review the denial of a
motion for compassionate release for abuse of discretion. United States v. Kibble, 992 F.3d
326, 329 (4th Cir. 2021). Here, the district court assumed without deciding that White
exhausted his administrative remedies and that he stated extraordinary and compelling
circumstances warranting release. See 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A)(i). The court denied the
motion, however, after analyzing the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors and determining that
relief was not warranted under the circumstances in White’s case.
Upon review, we conclude the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying
White’s motion for compassionate release based on its thorough consideration of the
§ 3553(a) factors. See United States v. High, 997 F.3d 181, 187 (4th Cir. 2021).
Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. United States v. White, No. 1:16-cr-
00026-CCE-1 (M.D.N.C. Jan. 14, 2021). 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
