UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 22-6810 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff - Appellee, v. MARK WAYNE WOODS, Defendant - Appellant. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia, at Harrisonburg. Norman K. Moon, Senior District Judge. (5:03-cr-30054-NKM-1) Submitted: November 22, 2022 Decided: November 29, 2022 Before HARRIS and RICHARDSON, Circuit Judges, and TRAXLER, Senior Circuit Judge. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Mark Wayne Woods, Appellant Pro Se. Justin Michael Lugar, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Roanoke, Virginia, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Mark Wayne Woods appeals the district court’s order denying his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A)(i) motion for compassionate release. Upon review, we discern no abuse of discretion in the district court’s determination that Woods failed to demonstrate an extraordinary and compelling basis for relief. See United States v. High, 997 F.3d 181, 185 (4th Cir. 2021). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. 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
