PER CURIAM: Nathaniel Graham appeals the district court’s order denying his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A) motion for compassionate release. We review a district court’s denial of a compassionate release motion for abuse of discretion. United States v. Malone, 57 F.4th 167, 172 (4th Cir. 2023). We have reviewed the record and conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. United States v. Graham, No. 3:12-cr-00188-FDW-DSC-13 (W.D.N.C. May 23, 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
