USCA4 Appeal: 23-6441 Doc: 9 Filed: 04/30/2024 Pg: 2 of 2

PER CURIAM: Gabriel Z. Kershaw appeals from the district court’s orders denying his motion for compassionate release, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A)(i), as amended by the First Step Act of 2018, Pub. L. No. 115-391, § 603(b)(1), 132 Stat. 5194, 5239, and his motion for reconsideration. Upon review of the record, we discern no abuse of discretion in the district court’s determination that the pertinent 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors weighed against compassionate release. See United States v. Bethea, 54 F.4th 826, 831 (4th Cir. 2022) (stating standard of review). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s orders. 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
