PER CURIAM:

Dennis William Brown appeals the district court’s order 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. Having reviewed the

record, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in ruling that Brown

failed to show extraordinary and compelling reasons for release. See United States v. High,

997 F.3d 181, 185 (4th Cir. 2021) (stating standard of review). Accordingly, we affirm

the district court’s order. We also deny all of Brown’s pending motions. 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
