Before NIEMEYER, KING, and HARRIS, Circuit Judges.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Bobby Arion Dinkins, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Bobby Arion Dinkins 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. We review for
abuse of discretion the district court’s denial of a compassionate release motion. United
States v. Kibble, 992 F.3d 326, 329 (4th Cir. 2021). After reviewing the record, we
conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in determining that the 18 U.S.C.
§ 3553(a) factors weighed against granting compassionate release in Dinkins’ case. See
United States v. High, 997 F. 3d 181, 187-91 (4th Cir. 2021). Accordingly, we affirm the
district court’s order. See United States v. Dinkins, No. 3:08-cr-00254-MR-1 (W.D.N.C.
Oct. 5, 2020). We deny Dinkins’ motion for appointment of counsel. 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
