PER CURIAM:

Mark Anthony James appeals the district court’s order denying his

(c)(1)(A) motion for compassionate release. After reviewing the record, we

conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying James’ motion.

See United States v. High,

(4th Cir. 2021) (stating standard of review).

Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. United States v. James, No. 3:14-cr-

00604-JFA-9 (D.S.C. Aug. 17, 2022). 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
