UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff - Appellee,
v.
EDDIE BRIAN BECKHAM,

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of North Carolina, at
Statesville. Kenneth D. Bell, District Judge. (5:18-cr-00029-KDB-DCK-1)
Submitted: July 20, 2021 Decided: July 23, 2021
Before WILKINSON, AGEE, and DIAZ, Circuit Judges.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Eddie Brian Beckham, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Eddie Brian Beckham appeals the district court’s order denying relief on 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, 132 Stat. 5194. 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, 329-31 (4th Cir. 2021) (providing standard of review and outlining
steps for evaluating compassionate release motions). Accordingly, we affirm for the
reasons stated by the district court. United States v. Beckham, No. 5:18-cr-00029-KDB-
DCK-1 (W.D.N.C. Jan. 25, 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
