PER CURIAM:

David Francis Clark appeals the district court’s order denying his 18 U.S.C.

§ 3582(c)(1)(A) 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). 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. 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
