PER CURIAM:
Charles Edward Philson appeals the district court’s order denying his 18 U.S.C.
§ 3582(c)(1)(A) motion for compassionate release. Upon review, we discern no abuse of
discretion in the district court’s denial of Philson’s motion. See United States v. High, 997
F.3d 181, 185 (4th Cir. 2021) (stating standard of review). Accordingly, we affirm the
district court’s order. United States v. Philson, No. 4:19-cr-00035-FL-1 (E.D.N.C. Nov. 4,
2022). 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
