PER CURIAM: Samuel Eddie Pheasant appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for compassionate release pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1). We have reviewed the record and Pheasant’s arguments, and we find no abuse of discretion. See United States v. Brown, 78 F.4th 122, 127 (4th Cir. 2023). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. United States v. Pheasant, No. 2:06-cr-00025-MR-1 (W.D.N.C. Aug. 1, 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
