PER CURIAM:

Trent Jerrod Daniels appeals the district court’s order denying his

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

granting or denying a compassionate release motion for abuse of discretion. United States

v. Kibble,

(4th Cir.) (stating standard of review), cert. denied,

(2021). We have reviewed the record and conclude that the district court did not abuse

its discretion in analyzing the relevant

(a) factors. See United States v.

High,

(4th Cir. 2021) (affirming district court’s order denying

compassionate release where “[t]he court’s rationale . . . was both rational and legitimate

under [

(a)]” and “the court sufficiently explained its denial to allow for

meaningful appellate review” (internal quotation marks omitted)). 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
