for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Dennis Wayne Rowsey, Jr., appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for
compassionate release under 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. After reviewing the
record, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Rowsey’s
motion. See United States v. Kibble, 992 F.3d 326, 329 (4th Cir. 2021) (stating standard
of review). Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. United
States v. Rowsey, No. 4:11-cr-00053-MSD-TEM-1 (E.D. Va. June 9, 2020). 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
