PER CURIAM:
Timothy Gadson appeals the district court’s order denying his 18 U.S.C.
§ 3582(c)(1)(A)(i) motion for compassionate release. We review a 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. Gadson, No. 5:01-cr-00084-CMC-1
(D.S.C. Apr. 13, 2022). We further deny Gadson’s motion for appointment of counsel.
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
