PER CURIAM:
Makita Boone appeals the district court’s order denying her 18 U.S.C.
§ 3582(c)(1)(A) motion for compassionate release. We review the district court’s denial
of a compassionate release motion for abuse of discretion. United States v. Kibble, 992
F.3d 326, 329 (4th Cir. 2021). We have reviewed the record and conclude that the court
did not abuse its discretion and sufficiently explained 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 compassionate release motion). Accordingly, we affirm the district
court’s order and deny Boone’s motions for appointment of counsel and bail pending
appeal. 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
