PER CURIAM:
Savino Braxton appeals the district court’s order denying his motion to reconsider
the court’s prior order granting in part his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A)(i) motion for
compassionate release. Though the court previously reduced Braxton’s prison sentence
from 246 months to 168 months, Braxton’s reconsideration motion sought an even greater
reduction based on new factual developments. Upon review of the record, we discern no
abuse of discretion in the district court’s determination that reconsideration was not
warranted. See United States v. Kibble, 992 F.3d 326, 329-31 (4th Cir.) (providing standard
of review and outlining steps for evaluating compassionate release motions), cert. denied,
142 S. Ct. 383 (2021).
Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s judgment. 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
