PER CURIAM:
In these consolidated cases, Davis Barton appeals the district court’s orders denying
his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A)(i) motions for compassionate release and denying
reconsideration. 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 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
orders. United States v. Barton, Nos. 1:11-cr-00349-TDS-1, 1:12-cr-00255-TDS-1
(M.D.N.C. Jan. 18, 2022; Jan. 27, 2022; Mar. 17, 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
