PER CURIAM
Iesha Nicole Armstrong appeals the district court's orders denying her 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, and denying her second motion for compassionate release, which the court construed as a motion for reconsideration. We review the denial of a motion for compassionate release for abuse of discretion. United States v. Kibble, 992 F.3d 326, 329 (4th Cir.), cert. denied, 142 S.Ct. 383 (2021). Upon review, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Armstrong's motions based on its consideration of the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors. See United States v. High, 997 F.3d 181, 187 (4th Cir. 2021). Accordingly, we deny Armstrong's motion for appointment of counsel and 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
