        PER CURIAM:

               Donald Brian Beauchaine appeals the district court’s orders denying his motion for

        compassionate release pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A) and his subsequent motion

        for reconsideration. We review a district 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 orders.    United States v. Beauchaine, No. 7:15-cr-00063-D-1 (E.D.N.C.

        July 5, 2022 & Oct. 11, 2022). 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
