UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 21-6539

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff - Appellee,

v.

MONSUNTA CORNISH,

Defendant - Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Baltimore. George L. Russell, III, District Judge. (1:18-cr-00242-GLR-1)

Submitted: November 23, 2021 Decided: November 29, 2021

Before NIEMEYER, FLOYD, and RUSHING, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Monsunta Cornish, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Monsunta Cornish appeals the district court’s order denying his

(c)(1)(A)(i) motion for compassionate release. We review a district court’s denial

of a compassionate release motion for abuse of discretion. United States v. Kibble,

(4th Cir. 2021), cert. denied, No. 21-5624,

(U.S. Oct. 12,

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,

(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
