PER CURIAM:
Terrill Lanier Williams appeals the district court’s orders denying his 18 U.S.C.
§ 3582(c)(1)(A) motion for compassionate release and his motion for reconsideration. 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.) (stating standard
of review), cert. denied, 142 S. Ct. 383 (2021). We have reviewed the record and conclude
that the district court did not abuse its discretion in analyzing the relevant 18 U.S.C.
§ 3553(a) factors. See United States v. High, 997 F.3d 181, 189 (4th Cir. 2021) (affirming
district court’s 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. 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
