Submitted: August 24, 2021 Decided: August 27, 2021
Before NIEMEYER and HARRIS, Circuit Judges, and SHEDD, Senior Circuit Judge.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Shane Elliott Hare, Appellant Pro Se. Joseph Ronald Baldwin, OFFICE OF THE UNITED
STATES ATTORNEY, Greenbelt, Maryland, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Shane Elliott Hare 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 order
granting or denying a compassionate release motion for abuse of discretion. United
States v. Kibble, 992 F.3d 326, 329 (4th Cir. 2021). We have reviewed the record and
conclude that the court did not abuse its discretion. The court denied Hare’s motion after
discussing the applicable 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors 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 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
