UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 21-6287 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff - Appellee, v. EDWARD MARTIN ANDREWS, a/k/a Edward Andrews, Defendant - Appellant. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Alexandria. Leonie M. Brinkema, District Judge. (1:11-cr-00320-LMB-1) Submitted: April 29, 2021 Decided: May 5, 2021 Before AGEE, DIAZ, and RUSHING, Circuit Judges. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Edward Martin Andrews, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Edward Martin Andrews 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 Andrews’ motion. See United States v. Kibble, 992 F.3d 326, 329 (4th Cir. 2021) (stating standard of review). Accordingly, we deny Andrews’ motion to appoint counsel and affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. United States v. Andrews, No. 1:11-cr-00320-LMB-1 (E.D. Va. Feb. 11, 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 2
