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).
