Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina, at Greensboro. Catherine C. Eagles, District Judge. (1:20-cr-00040-CCE-1) Submitted: November 22, 2022 Decided: November 29, 2022 Before HARRIS and RICHARDSON, Circuit Judges, and TRAXLER, Senior Circuit Judge. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. James Ernest Gandy, Jr., Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: James Ernest Gandy, Jr., appeals the district court’s order denying his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A) motion for compassionate release. 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. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. United States v. Gandy, No. 1:20-cr-00040-CCE-1 (M.D.N.C. July 21, 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
