PER CURIAM:
Mathew Byrd appeals the district court’s order denying his third motion for
compassionate release under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A). We have reviewed the record and
find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. See United
States v. Byrd, No. 3:19-cr-00080-1 (S.D.W. Va. Dec. 1, 2021). We also deny his pending
motion for compassionate release, which should be directed to the sentencing court in the
first instance. See United States v. Raia, 954 F.3d 594, 596 (3d Cir. 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
