UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff - Appellee, v. Patrick Jerome BOYD, a/k/a LD, Defendant - Appellant.
Patrick Jerome Boyd appeals the district court's order denying his motion for compassionate release under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A). After reviewing the record, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying the motion. See United States v. Chambliss, 948 F.3d 691, 693 (5th Cir. 2020) (stating standard of review). Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. United States v. Boyd, No. 3:10-cr-00072-MOC-1 (W.D.N.C. Aug. 10, 2020). 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
PER CURIAM:
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
