UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 21-7292 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff - Appellee, v. DEMARIO COVINGTON, a/k/a Booger, Defendant - Appellant. Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, at Florence. Terry L. Wooten, Senior District Judge. (4:11-cr-00417-TLW-1) Submitted: November 18, 2021 Decided: November 22, 2021 Before MOTZ, THACKER, and HARRIS, Circuit Judges. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Demario Covington, Appellant Pro Se. Katherine Hollingsworth Flynn, Assistant United States Attorney, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Florence, South Carolina, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Demario Covington appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for compassionate release pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A), as amended by the First Step Act of 2018, Pub. L. No. 115-391, § 603(b)(1), 132 Stat. 5194, 5239. Upon review, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Covington’s motion. See United States v. Kibble, 992 F.3d 326, 329 (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 order. United States v. Covington, No. 4:11-cr-00417-TLW-1 (D.S.C. Aug. 20, 2021). 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 2
