UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 22-7181 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff - Appellee, v. MIGUEL ANGEL HURTADO, Defendant - Appellant. Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, at Florence. R. Bryan Harwell, Chief District Judge. (4:19-cr-00193-RBH-1) Submitted: April 20, 2023 Decided: April 25, 2023 Before KING and QUATTLEBAUM, Circuit Judges, and FLOYD, Senior Circuit Judge. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Miguel Angel Hurtado, Appellant Pro Se. Justin William Holloway, Assistant United States Attorney, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Greenville, South Carolina, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Miguel Angel Hurtado appeals the district court’s order denying his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A) motion for compassionate release. We review a district court’s order granting or denying a compassionate release motion for abuse of discretion. United States v. Kibble, 992 F.3d 326, 329 (4th Cir. 2021) (stating standard of review). We have reviewed the record and conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion. We therefore affirm the district court’s order. United States v. Hurtado, No. 4:19-cr-00193RBH-1 (D.S.C. Sept. 21, 2022). We also deny Hurtado’s motion to appoint counsel. 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
