Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM.

Edward Charles Hunter, a federal prisoner, appeals the district court's order denying his motion for compassionate release pursuant to 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. Having reviewed the record, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in determining that Hunter failed to show extraordinary and compelling reasons that warrant early release. See United States v. High, 997 F.3d 181, 185 (4th Cir. 2021). Accordingly, we affirm. We also deny Hunter's motion to appoint 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.
