PER CURIAM:
Antonio Lamont Lightfoot 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 relief. See United States v. Kibble, 992
F.3d 326, 329 (4th Cir.) (providing standard), cert. denied, 142 S. Ct. 383 (2021).
Accordingly, we affirm. United States v. Lightfoot, No. 8:99-cr-00409-PJM-1 (D. Md.
Mar. 30, 2022). 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
