PER CURIAM:
Sreedhar Potarazu appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for
compassionate release pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A)(i) or, alternatively, for a
judicial recommendation for home confinement. We have reviewed the record and found
no reversible error in the district court’s exercise of its discretion to deny relief. See United
States v. Bethea, 54 F.4th 826, 831 (4th Cir. 2022) (standard of review). Accordingly, we
affirm the district court’s order. United States v. Potarazu, No. 1:16-cr-00261-AJT-1 (E.D.
Va. filed Nov. 29, 2021 & entered Nov. 30, 2021). We deny Potarazu’s motions for
appointment of counsel and to compel. 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
