UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 21-6509 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff - Appellee, v. KIPPER KEN KING, Defendant - Appellant. Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, at Spartanburg. Bruce H. Hendricks, District Judge. (7:17-cr-00112-BHH-1) Submitted: June 24, 2021 Decided: June 29, 2021 Before KING and THACKER, Circuit Judges, and TRAXLER, Senior Circuit Judge. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Kipper Ken King, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Kipper Ken King, a federal prisoner, appeals from the district court’s order denying his motion for compassionate release pursuant to 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. Upon review of the record, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying King’s motion. See United States v. High, 997 F.3d 181, 185 (4th Cir. 2021). Accordingly, we affirm. 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
