United States v. Deshawn Greene

UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 21-6435 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff - Appellee, v. DESHAWN JAMEL GREENE, a/k/a Train, Defendant - Appellant. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina, at Greensboro. William L. Osteen, Jr., District Judge. (1:10-cr-00144-WO-1) Submitted: January 20, 2022 Decided: January 24, 2022 Before WILKINSON, DIAZ, and THACKER, Circuit Judges. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Deshawn Jamel Greene, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Deshawn Jamel Greene appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for compassionate release under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A)(i), and a subsequent order denying reconsideration. We review a district court’s denial of a compassionate release motion for abuse of discretion. See United States v. Kibble, 992 F.3d 326, 329 (4th Cir.) (stating standard of review), cert. denied, 142 S. Ct. 383 (2021). After reviewing the record, we conclude that the district 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. 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 2
