        PER CURIAM:

               Billy Charles Burgess appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for

        compassionate release pursuant to 

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

        record on appeal and conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying

        Burgess’ motion. See United States v. Kibble, 

 (4th Cir. 2021) (providing

        standard). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. United States v. Burgess,

        No. 5:08-cr-00341-D-1 (E.D.N.C. Aug. 17, 2023).           We deny Burgess’ motion for

        appointment of counsel and to expedite. 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
