PER CURIAM:
Henry P. Bennett, Jr., a federal prisoner, appeals from 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. We review a district court’s order 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 discern no abuse of discretion. The district court denied Bennett’s
motion after assessing the applicable 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors and sufficiently explained
its 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).
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
