PER CURIAM:
In these consolidated appeals, Michael Daniel Hammonds challenges the district
court’s orders denying his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A) motions for compassionate release.
We review a district court’s denial of a motion for compassionate release for an abuse of
discretion. See United States v. Kibble, 992 F.3d 326, 329 (4th Cir.), cert. denied,
142 S. Ct. 383 (2021). We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.
Accordingly, we 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
