UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 21-7719 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff - Appellee, v. YAYAH TALIB, Defendant - Appellant. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia, at Big Stone Gap. James P. Jones, Senior District Judge. (2:07-cr-00003-JPJ-1) Submitted: May 16, 2022 Decided: May 24, 2022 Before MOTZ, DIAZ, and RUSHING, Circuit Judges. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Yayah Talib, Appellant Pro Se. Whitney Demain Pierce, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Abingdon, Virginia, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Yayah Talib 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 Talib’s motion. See United States v. Kibble, 992 F.3d 326, 329 (4th Cir.) (stating standard of review), cert. denied, 142 S. Ct. 383 (2021). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. United States v. Talib, No. 2:07-cr-00003-JPJ-1 (W.D. Va. Oct. 8, 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
