UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff - Appellee,
v.
GEORGE MARTIN,

Clarksburg. Irene M. Keeley, Senior District Judge. (1:05-cr-00021-IMK-MJA-1)
Submitted: September 29, 2021 Decided: September 30, 2021
Before WYNN and DIAZ, Circuit Judges, and SHEDD, Senior Circuit Judge.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
George Martin, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
George Martin appeals the district court’s order denying his counseled 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. Upon review of the
record, we discern no abuse of discretion in the district court’s determination that Martin
did not establish extraordinary and compelling reasons warranting early release. See
United States v. Kibble, 992 F.3d 326, 329-31 (4th Cir. 2021) (providing standard of review
and outlining steps for evaluating compassionate release motions), pet. for cert. filed,
No. 21-5624 (U.S. Sept. 8, 2021). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. See
United States v. Martin, No. 1:05-cr-00021-IMK-MJA-1 (N.D.W. Va. Mar. 26, 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
