PER CURIAM:
Lloyd Obed Adams appeals the district court’s orders denying his motion for
compassionate release pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A)(i), and denying his motion
for reconsideration. Upon review of the record, we discern no abuse of discretion in the
court’s determination that Adams did not establish extraordinary and compelling reasons
for his release and the pertinent 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors weighed against early release.
See United States v. High, 997 F.3d 181, 185 (4th Cir. 2021) (providing standard of
review). Accordingly, we affirm the 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
