PER CURIAM:

Lorenzo Butts appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for

compassionate release brought pursuant to

(c)(1)(A). After reviewing the

record, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Butts’s

motion based on the

(a) sentencing factors. See United States v. Brown,

, 127 (4th Cir. 2023) (stating standard of review). Accordingly, we affirm the

district court’s order. United States v. Butts, No. 2:00-cr-00067-AWA-1 (E.D. Va.

June 20, 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
