PER CURIAM:
Willie Johnson appeals the district court’s orders denying his 18 U.S.C.
§ 3582(c)(1)(A) motion for compassionate release and his motion for reconsideration. 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. 2021) (stating standard of
review). We have reviewed the record and conclude that the district court did not abuse its
discretion. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s orders. United States v. Johnson,
No. 5:20-cr-00016-JPB-JPM-23 (N.D.W. Va. Apr. 17 & 28, 2023). 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
