USCA4 Appeal: 23-6489 Doc: 6 Filed: 08/29/2023 Pg: 2 of 2

PER CURIAM: Mitchell Narada Kelly appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for compassionate release. Upon review, we discern no abuse of discretion in the district court’s denial of Kelly’s motion. See United States v. Ferguson, 55 F.4th 262, 269 (4th Cir. 2022) (noting standard of review), petition for cert. filed, No. 22-1216 (U.S. June 16, 2023). We therefore affirm the district court’s order. United States v. Kelly, No. 0:15-cr-00511-MGL-1 (D.S.C. May 3, 2023). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and oral argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
