PER CURIAM:

Scott Lewis Rendelman appeals the district court’s order denying his second

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. 2021). We have reviewed the record and conclude that the

district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Rendelman’s motion, particularly in

light of the previous opportunities afforded Rendelman to supplement the record with

evidence supporting his motion. See United States v. High,

997 F.3d 181

, 188-91 (4th Cir.

2021) (discussing amount of explanation required for denial of compassionate release

motion). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. United States v. Rendelman,

No. 8:07-cr-00331-JKB-1 (D. Md. May 18, 2023). 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.
