Description:
Richmond, VA - Criminal defense lawyer represented defendant with appealing the district court’s order denying relief on his amended motion for compassionate release.
Upon review, we discern no
abuse of discretion. See United States v. Kibble, 992 F.3d 326, 329-31 (4th Cir. 2021)
(providing standard of review and outlining steps for evaluating compassionate release
motions), cert. denied, No. 21-5624, 2021 WL 4733616 (U.S. Oct. 12, 2021). Accordingly,
we affirm the district court’s judgment. 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.
Outcome: AFFIRMED
