PER CURIAM:

Claude Simpson appeals the district court’s order denying his second motion for

compassionate release pursuant to

(c)(1)(A). We have reviewed the

record and conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Simpson’s

motion. See United States v. Centeno-Morales,

(4th Cir. 2024) (stating

standard). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. United States v. Simpson, No.

7:18-cr-00291-DCC-1 (D.S.C. Oct. 25, 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
