UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff - Appellee, v. Larry Donnell FRYE, Defendant - Appellant.
Larry Donnell Frye appeals the district court's order denying his motion for compassionate release under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A)(i), as amended by the First Step Act of 2018, Pub. L. No. 115-391, § 603(b)(1), 132 Stat. 5194, 5239. After reviewing the record, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in determining that the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors counseled against a compassionate release sentence reduction in Frye's case. See United States v. Kibble, 992 F.3d 326, 329 (4th Cir. 2021) (per curiam) (stating standard of review). Accordingly, we affirm the district court's order on this basis. United States v. Frye, No. 3:07-cr-00247-HEH-1 (E.D. Va. Aug. 17, 2020). We deny Frye's motions to appoint counsel and to expedite decision 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

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
