UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff - Appellee, v. RODNEY WAYNE BARNES, a/k/a C, Defendant - Appellant.

Rodney Wayne Barnes, Appellant Pro Se. Christopher R. Kavanaugh, Assistant United States Attorney, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Charlottesville, Virginia, for Appellee.


UNPUBLISHED

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia, at Charlottesville. Norman K. Moon, Senior District Judge. (3:10-cr-00032-NKM-1) Before WILKINSON and RICHARDSON, Circuit Judges, and SHEDD, Senior Circuit Judge. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Rodney Wayne Barnes, Appellant Pro Se. Christopher R. Kavanaugh, Assistant United States Attorney, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Charlottesville, Virginia, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Rodney Wayne Barnes 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. Upon review of the record, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Barnes' motion. See United States v. Chambliss, 948 F.3d 691, 693 (5th Cir. 2020) (stating standard). Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. United States v. Barnes, No. 3:10-cr-00032-NKM-1 (W.D. Va. Sept. 2, 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
