PER CURIAM:
Tyrone Anthony Johnson appeals the district court’s orders denying his 18 U.S.C.
§ 3582(c)(1)(A)(i) motion for compassionate release and denying reconsideration. We
review a district court’s denial of a compassionate release motion for abuse of discretion.
United States v. Kibble, 992 F.3d 326, 329 (4th Cir. 2021), cert. denied, No. 21-5624, 2021
WL 4733616 (U.S. Oct. 12, 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 compassionate release motion). We therefore affirm the
district 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
