PER CURIAM:
James Ernest Gandy, Jr., appeals the district court’s orders denying his 18 U.S.C.
§ 3582(c)(1)(A) motions for compassionate release and denying his motion for
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.), cert. denied, 142
S. Ct. 383 (2021). We have reviewed the record and conclude that the court did not abuse
its discretion and sufficiently explained the reasons for the denial. Accordingly, although
we grant Gandy’s motions to supplement his informal brief, we 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
