    PER CURIAM:
    Burhan Abdirahman Yusuf appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his
    
    18 U.S.C. § 3582
    (c)(1)(A)(i) motion for compassionate release. Upon review, we discern
    no abuse of discretion in the district court’s determination that Yusuf failed to establish an
    extraordinary and compelling basis for relief and that, in any event, compassionate release
    was not warranted under the pertinent 
    18 U.S.C. § 3553
    (a) sentencing factors. See United
    States v. Kibble, 
    992 F.3d 326
    , 329-31 (4th Cir.) (providing standard of review and
    outlining steps for evaluating compassionate release motions), cert. denied, 
    142 S. Ct. 383
    (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
