PER CURIAM:

Zerrell Ross Fuentes appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for

compassionate release under

(c)(1)(A). After reviewing the record, we

conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in finding that the

(a) factors did not warrant reducing Fuentes’ sentence. See United States v. Malone,

(4th Cir. 2023) (stating standard of review). Accordingly, we affirm the

district court’s order. United States v. Fuentes, No. 3:17-cr-00123-MOC-DCK-1

(W.D.N.C. June 9, 2023). 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
