USCA4 Appeal: 23-6070      Doc: 8         Filed: 04/25/2023      Pg: 2 of 2

        PER CURIAM:

               Johnnie Edward Banks, Jr., appeals the district court’s order granting in part his

        motion for compassionate release under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A) and the court’s order

        denying his multiple motions for reconsideration. After reviewing the record, we conclude

        that the district court did not abuse its discretion in determining the extent of the sentence

        reduction. See United States v. Kibble, 992 F.3d 326, 329 (4th Cir. 2021) (stating standard).

        Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s judgment. United States v. Banks, No. 3:13-cr-

        00003-NKM-JCH-1 (W.D. Va. Jan. 25 & Oct. 20, 2022). We dispense with oral argument

        because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the

        court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

                                                                                         AFFIRMED

                                                      2
