USCA4 Appeal: 22-6560 Doc: 5 Filed: 08/23/2022 Pg: 1 of 2 UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 22-6560 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff - Appellee, v. DOREY JOYNER, Defendant - Appellant. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of North Carolina, at Statesville. Kenneth D. Bell, District Judge. (5:19-cr-00069-KDB-DCK-1) Submitted: August 18, 2022 Decided: August 23, 2022 Before WYNN, THACKER, and HEYTENS, Circuit Judges. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Dorey Joyner, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. USCA4 Appeal: 22-6560 Doc: 5 Filed: 08/23/2022 Pg: 2 of 2 PER CURIAM: Dorey Joyner appeals the district court’s order denying his
18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A) motion for compassionate release and for appointment of counsel. We review a district court’s order granting or denying a compassionate release motion for abuse of discretion. United States v. Kibble,
992 F.3d 326, 329 (4th Cir.) (stating standard of review), cert. denied,
142 S. Ct. 383(2021). We have reviewed the record and conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion. The court denied the compassionate release motion after reviewing the record, including the presentence report, and explaining why Joyner failed to demonstrate extraordinary and compelling circumstances. 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 2
