USCA4 Appeal: 21-7145      Doc: 13         Filed: 06/02/2022     Pg: 2 of 2

        PER CURIAM:

               Quentin Dwayne McNebb appeals the district court’s orders denying his motion for

        compassionate release pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A), as amended by the First Step

        Act of 2018, Pub. L. No. 115-391, § 603(b)(1), 132 Stat. 5194, 5239, and his motions for

        reconsideration. Our review of the record convinces us that the district court did not abuse

        its discretion in concluding that the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors did not weigh in favor of

        compassionate release. See United States v. High, 997 F.3d 181, 186-87 (4th Cir. 2021)

        (affirming denial of compassionate release on balancing of § 3553(a) factors).

        Accordingly, we affirm the denial of relief on that basis. * United States v. McNebb, No.

        4:12-cr-00001-JPJ-4 (W.D. Va. June 24, 2021 & July 16, 2021). We deny McNebb’s

        motion for appointment of counsel and 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

               *
                 To the extent that McNebb intended to appeal the July 19, 2021, order denying his
        Motion for Leave to Proceed, he forfeited appellate review by failing to challenge that
        order in his informal brief. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b).

                                                     2
