PER CURIAM:
Raymond Comegys appeals the district court’s order denying his 18 U.S.C.
§ 3582(c)(1)(A) motion for compassionate release. We review a district court’s order
granting or denying a compassionate release motion for abuse of discretion. United
States v. Kibble, 992 F.3d 326, 329 (4th Cir. 2021), petition for cert. filed, No. 21-5624
(U.S. Sept. 8, 2021). We have reviewed the record and conclude that the court did not
abuse its discretion and sufficiently explained the reasons for the denial. See United
States v. High, 997 F.3d 181, 188-91 (4th Cir. 2021) (discussing amount of explanation
required for denial of straightforward compassionate release motion). We therefore affirm
the district court’s order. 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
