PER CURIAM:
Borenzo Cortez Patrick appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for
compassionate release pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A). 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 its 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. United States v. Patrick, No. 7:17-cr-
00028-M-1 (E.D.N.C. filed Nov. 15, 2022 & entered Nov. 16, 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
