PER CURIAM: Jeriton Lavar Curry appeals the district court’s order denying his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A) motion for compassionate release. Before addressing the merits of the appeal, we deny Curry’s motion to seal. In addition, we have reviewed the record, and we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Curry’s motion for compassionate release. See United States v. Brown, 78 F.4th 122, 127 (4th Cir. 2023) (stating standard of review). The district court addressed Curry’s arguments that extraordinary and compelling reasons existed for his release, specifically explained why it rejected those arguments, and explained why the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors weighed against a sentence reduction. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. 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
