PER CURIAM:
Gabriel Z. Kershaw appeals from the district court’s orders denying his motion for
compassionate release, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A)(i), as amended by the First
Step Act of 2018, Pub. L. No. 115-391, § 603(b)(1), 132 Stat. 5194, 5239, and his motion
for reconsideration. Upon review of the record, we discern no abuse of discretion in the
district court’s determination that the pertinent 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors weighed against
compassionate release. See United States v. Bethea, 54 F.4th 826, 831 (4th Cir. 2022)
(stating standard of review). Accordingly, 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
