PER CURIAM:
Dennis William Brown appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for
compassionate release pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A), as amended by the First Step
Act of 2018, Pub. L. No. 115-391, § 603(b)(1), 132 Stat. 5194, 5239. Having reviewed the
record, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in ruling that Brown
failed to show extraordinary and compelling reasons for release. See United States v. High,
997 F.3d 181, 185 (4th Cir. 2021) (stating standard of review). Accordingly, we affirm
the district court’s order. We also deny all of Brown’s pending motions. 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
