PER CURIAM
Burhan Abdirahman Yusuf appeals the district court's order denying relief on his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A)(i) motion for compassionate release. Upon review, we discern no abuse of discretion in the district court's determination that Yusuf failed to establish an extraordinary and compelling basis for relief and that, in any event, compassionate release was not warranted under the pertinent 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing factors. See United States v. Kibble, 992 F.3d 326, 329-31 (4th Cir.) (providing standard of review and outlining steps for evaluating compassionate release motions), cert. denied, 142 S.Ct. 383 (2021). Accordingly, we affirm the district court's order. 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
