PER CURIAM:
Deshaun Entrea Spruill 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
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. The court denied the compassionate release motion after assuming that Spruill
demonstrated extraordinary and compelling circumstances, discussing the applicable 18
U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors, and sufficiently explaining 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
