Delshawn Christopher Babb, Appellant Pro Se. Zachary Byrne Stendig, Assistant United
States Attorney, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Baltimore, Maryland,
for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Delshawn Christopher Babb appeals the district court’s 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 court’s 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).
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
