USCA4 Appeal: 22-7391         Doc: 17       Filed: 04/25/2023     Pg: 2 of 2

        PER CURIAM:

               Makita Boone appeals the district court’s order denying her 18 U.S.C.

        § 3582(c)(1)(A) motion for compassionate release. We review the district court’s denial

        of 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 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 and deny Boone’s motions for appointment of counsel and bail pending

        appeal. 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
