UNPUBLISHED

Submitted: December 16, 2021

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Newport News. Arenda L. Wright Allen, District Judge. (4:16-cr-00071-AWA-RJK-1)

John Moses Burton, IV, Appellant Pro Se.

Before WYNN and RICHARDSON, Circuit Judges, and KEENAN, Senior Circuit Judge.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM.

John Moses Burton, IV, appeals the district court's order denying his motion for compassionate release. We have reviewed the record on appeal and conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying the motion. See United States v. Kibble, 992 F.3d 326, 329 (4th Cir. 2021) (providing standard), cert. denied, No. 21-5624, 2021 WL 473616 (U.S. Oct. 12, 2021). Accordingly, we affirm the decision of the district court. United States v. Burton, No. 4:16-cr-00071-AWA-RJK-1 (E.D. Va. June 7, 2021). We deny Burton's motion for appointment of counsel and 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
