PER CURIAM:
James Ernest Gandy, Jr., 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 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, we affirm the district court’s order. United States v. Gandy,
No. 1:20-cr-00040-CCE-1 (M.D.N.C. July 21, 2022). 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
