John Moses Burton, IV, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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
