PER CURIAM:

Daryl F. Locust appeals the district court’s orders denying his motion for

compassionate release and his motion for reconsideration. We have reviewed the record

on appeal and conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying relief.

See United States v. Kibble,

(4th Cir.) (providing standard), cert. denied,

(2021). Accordingly, we affirm. United States v. Locust, No. 4:06-cr-

00040-RBS-TEM-1 (E.D. Va. Mar. 16, 2022, & May 5, 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
