Gregory Lamont Avery appeals the district courts order denying his motion for compassionate release pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A)(i), as amended by the First Step Act of 2018, Pub. L. No. 115-391, § 603(b)(1), 132 Stat. 5194, 5239. Upon review, we discern no abuse of discretion in the district courts determination that, under the pertinent 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing factors, compassionate release was not warranted. See United States v. Kibble, 992 F.3d 326, 329 (4th Cir. 2021) (providing standard of review and outlining steps for evaluating compassionate release motions); see also United States v. High, 997 F.3d 181, 189 (4th Cir. 2021) (explaining district court is not categorically required to “acknowledge and address each of the defendants arguments on the record” in support of § 3582(c)(1)(A) motion (emphasis omitted)). Accordingly, we affirm the district courts order and deny Averys motion to appoint counsel. 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.
