UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 22-7093 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff - Appellee, v. ACZEL CARDENA-SOSA, a/k/a Jesus Garcia, a/k/a Jorge Cardenas-Sosa, a/k/a Gasel Sosa, a/k/a Jorge Cardenas, Defendant - Appellant. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of West Virginia, at Martinsburg. Gina M. Groh, District Judge. (3:03-cr-00031-GMG-10) Submitted: December 20, 2022 Decided: December 27, 2022 Before NIEMEYER and QUATTLEBAUM, Circuit Judges, and FLOYD, Senior Circuit Judge. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Aczel Cardena-Sosa, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Aczel Cardena-Sosa appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for compassionate release pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A)(i). We review a district court’s denial of a compassionate release motion for abuse of discretion. See United States v. High, 997 F.3d 181, 185 (4th Cir. 2021). Upon review, we discern no reversible error in the district court’s denial of Cardena-Sosa’s motion. We therefore affirm the district court’s order. United States v. Cardenas-Sosa, No. 3:03-cr-00031-GMG-10 (N.D. W. Va. Sept. 9, 2022). 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
