PER CURIAM
Katherine Ave Privette appeals the district court’s order denying her 18 U.S.C.
§ 3582(c)(1)(A)(i) 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. 2021), cert. denied, No. 21-5624, 2021 WL 4733616 (U.S. Oct. 12,
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
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
