PER CURIAM:
Hubert Downer appeals the district court’s order denying his 18 U.S.C.
§ 3582(c)(1)(A) renewed motion for compassionate release. We review a district court’s
denial of a compassionate release motion for abuse of discretion. United States v. Kibble,
992 F.3d 326, 329 (4th Cir.), cert. denied, 142 S. Ct. 383 (2021). We have reviewed the
record and conclude that the 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 order. United States v. Downer, No. 1:11-cr-
00050-SAG-2 (D. Md. Oct. 6, 2022). 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
