PER CURIAM:
Sean F. Mescall appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for
compassionate release under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A). We review a district court’s
denial of a compassionate release motion for abuse of discretion. See 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 district 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. United States v. Mescall, No.
3:12-cr-00215-RJC-1 (W.D.N.C. Sept. 22, 2021). 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
