PER CURIAM:
Ethan Jerome Moore appeals the district court’s order denying his 18 U.S.C.
§ 3582(c)(1)(A) motion for compassionate release. We review a district court’s order
granting or denying a compassionate release motion for abuse of discretion. United
States v. Kibble, 992 F.3d 326, 329 (4th Cir.) (stating standard of review), cert. denied, 142
S. Ct. 383 (2021). We have reviewed the record and conclude that the district court did
not abuse its discretion. The court denied the compassionate release motion after reviewing
the record and explaining why Moore failed to demonstrate extraordinary and compelling
circumstances. See United States v. High, 997 F.3d 181, 188-91 (4th Cir. 2021) (discussing
amount of explanation required for denial of straightforward 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
