Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. USCA4 Appeal: 23-6124 Doc: 7 Filed: 06/21/2023 Pg: 2 of 2 PER CURIAM: Justin Travis Taylor appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for compassionate release under
18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A)(i). We review a district court’s denial of a compassionate release motion for abuse of discretion. See United States v. Kibble,
992 F.3d 326, 329 (4th Cir. 2021). We have reviewed the record and conclude that the district 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). We therefore affirm the district court’s order. United States v. Taylor, No. 4:19-cr-00087-RAJ-DEM-1 (E.D. Va. filed Feb. 1, 2023; entered Feb. 2, 2023). 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
