PER CURIAM:
Keonte K. Yorkshire appeals the district court’s orders denying his 18 U.S.C.
§ 3582(c)(1)(A)(i) motion for compassionate release, denying counsel’s supplemental
motion for compassionate release, and denying Yorkshire’s pro se motion for
reconsideration. After reviewing the record, we conclude that the district court did not
abuse its discretion in denying the motions. See United States v. Kibble, 992 F.3d 326, 329
(4th Cir. 2021) (stating standard of review for order denying compassionate release); 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 orders. United States v. Yorkshire, No. 2:18-cr-00177-RAJ-LRL-
9 (E.D. Va. Feb. 2, 2021; Mar. 25, 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
