PER CURIAM:
Russell Glenn Burnett appeals the district court’s order denying his 18 U.S.C.
§ 3582(c)(1)(A) motion for compassionate release. After reviewing the record, we
conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Burnett’s motion.
See United States v. High, 997 F.3d 181, 185 (4th Cir. 2021) (stating standard of review).
Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. United States v. Burnett,
No. 1:09-cr-00573-ELH-1 (D. Md. Nov. 18, 2021). We deny Burnett’s motion to appoint
counsel and 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
