PER CURIAM: In these consolidated cases, Steven Russell Helton appeals the district court’s orders denying his motions for a modification of the conditions of his supervised release, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e)(2). Upon review, we discern no abuse of discretion in the district court’s decisions. See United States v. Castellano, 60 F.4th 217, 223 (4th Cir. 2023) (providing standard of review for § 3583(e)(2) motion). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s orders. United States v. Helton, No. 5:12-cr-00134-1 (S.D. W. Va. July 2, 2024; Dec. 24, 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
