Docket

*1 Before KING and QUATTLEBAUM, Circuit Judges, and TRAXLER, Senior Circuit Judge.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Ryan Melvin, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

Ryan Melvin appeals the district court’s orders denying his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A) motion for compassionate release and denying reconsideration. We review a district court’s order granting or denying a compassionate release motion for abuse of discretion. See United States v. Kibble , 992 F.3d 326, 329 (4th Cir. 2021), cert. denied , 142 S. Ct. 383 (2021). We have reviewed the record and conclude that the court did not abuse its discretion. The court denied Melvin’s motion after discussing the applicable 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors and sufficiently explained the reasons for the denial. See United States v. High , 997 F.3d 181, 188-91 (4th Cir. 2021) (discussing amount of explanation required for denial of straightforward compassionate release motion). We therefore affirm the district court’s orders. 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
