UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff - Appellee,
v.
BILLY RAY DICKERSON, JR.,
Defendant - Appellant.

Greensboro. Thomas D. Schroeder, Chief District Judge. (1:17-cr-00203-TDS-1)
Submitted: May 27, 2021 Decided: June 14, 2021
Before MOTZ, WYNN and FLOYD, Circuit Judges.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Billy Ray Dickerson, Jr., Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Billy Ray Dickerson, Jr., 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
Dickerson’s motion. See United States v. Kibble, 992 F.3d 326, 329 (4th Cir. 2021) (stating
standard of review). Accordingly, we deny Dickerson’s motion to appoint counsel and
affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. United States v. Dickerson, No.
1:17-cr-00203-TDS-1 (M.D.N.C. Jan. 14, 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
