PER CURIAM: Donnell Salethian Woodard appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A)(i) motion for compassionate release. Upon review, we discern no abuse of discretion in the district court’s determination that Woodard failed to establish an extraordinary and compelling basis for relief. See United States v. Moody, 115 F.4th 304, 310 (4th Cir. 2024) (providing standard of review and outlining steps for evaluating compassionate release motions). * Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. United States v. Woodard, No. 3:18-cr-00308-CMC-2 (D.S.C. Apr. 16, 2025). 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

* To the extent that Woodard sought to challenge the validity of his conviction for conspiracy to commit sex trafficking, we note that a defendant cannot use a compassionate release motion to attack a criminal judgment. United States v. Ferguson, 55 F.4th 262, 270 (4th Cir. 2022).
