USCA4 Appeal: 24-6182 Doc: 6 Filed: 09/02/2025 Pg: 2 of 2

PER CURIAM: Johnny Elias Gonzalez appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for compassionate release. We have reviewed the record and find no abuse of discretion in the district court’s denial of Gonzalez’s motion. See United States v. Brown, 78 F.4th 122, 127 (4th Cir. 2023) (providing standard). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order.

United States v. Gonzalez, No. 3:08-cr-00134-RJC-SCR-18 (W.D.N.C. Feb. 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
