PER CURIAM: Tracy Clarence Anderson appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for compassionate release, brought pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A), as amended by the First Step Act of 2018, Pub. L. No. 115-391, § 603(b)(1), 132 Stat. 5194, 5239. After reviewing the record, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Anderson’s motion. See United States v. Brown, 78 F.4th 122, 127 (4th Cir. 2023) (stating standard of review). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. United States v. Anderson, No. 3:13-cr-00219-FDW-1 (W.D.N.C July 27, 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
