PER CURIAM:
Marion Mays appeals the district court’s order denying his 18 U.S.C.
§ 3582(c)(1)(A)(i) motion for compassionate release. After reviewing the record, we
conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying compassionate release
in this case. See United States v. Kibble, 992 F.3d 326, 329 (4th Cir. 2021) (stating standard
of review); see also United States v. High, 997 F.3d 181, 189 (4th Cir. 2021) (affirming
district court order denying compassionate release where “[t]he court’s rationale . . . was
both rational and legitimate under [18 U.S.C. § 3553(a)]” and “the court sufficiently
explained its denial to allow for meaningful appellate review” (internal quotation marks
omitted)). We therefore affirm the district court’s order. United States v. Mays, No. 1:03-
cr-00726-MBS-1 (D.S.C. May 14, 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
