Shane Elliott Hare, Appellant Pro Se. Joseph Ronald Baldwin, OFFICE OF THE UNITED
STATES ATTORNEY, Greenbelt, Maryland, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

       Shane Elliott Hare appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for

compassionate release under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A). 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. 2021). We have reviewed the record and

conclude that the court did not abuse its discretion. The court denied Hare’s motion after

discussing the applicable 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors 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 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
