PER CURIAM:

Eugene Shaner Penniegraft appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for

compassionate release, brought pursuant to

(c)(1)(A), as amended by the

First Step Act of 2018,

(b)(1),

, 5239. After

reviewing the record, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in

denying Penniegraft’s motion. See United States v. Brown,

, 127 (4th Cir.

2023) (stating standard of review). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order.

United States v. Penniegraft, No. 1:08-cr-00231-TDS-2 (M.D.N.C. Jan. 29, 2024). 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
