PER CURIAM:
Terrance Lamont Moore appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for
reconsideration and his subsequent motion for compassionate release.
*
Our review of the
record leads us to conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion by denying
Moore’s motion to reconsider. See United States v. Kalb, 891 F.3d 455, 467 (3d Cir. 2018)
(stating standard of review); see also Rutherford v. United States, 146 S. Ct. 1320, 1335
(2026) (holding “Congress’s nonretroactive change to [18 U.S.C.] § 924(c)—considered
by itself or in combination with other factors—cannot make a prisoner eligible for
compassionate release”). Nor do we discern any abuse of discretion in the district court’s
finding that Moore’s subsequent motion for compassionate release did not establish
extraordinary and compelling reasons for his release. See United States v. Davis, 99 F.4th
647, 653 (4th Cir. 2024) (stating standard of review); see also U.S. Sentencing Guidelines
Manual § 1B1.13(d), p.s. (2025) (providing that “rehabilitation of the defendant is not, by
itself, an extraordinary and compelling reason for” compassionate release).
Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. United States v. Moore, No. 4:98-
cr-00013-M-1 (E.D.N.C. Apr. 1, 2025). 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

*
Moore has moved for assignment of counsel on appeal and for reassignment of his
case on remand. We deny the motion for assignment of counsel, and we deny as moot the
motion for reassignment.
