PER CURIAM:
Mark Devin Partman, a federal prisoner, appeals from the district court’s order
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. We review a district court’s denial of a motion for compassionate release 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 discern no abuse of discretion. The district
court denied Partman’s motion after assessing the applicable 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors
and sufficiently explained its 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). We therefore affirm the district court’s order. 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
