PER CURIAM:
Samuel Eddie Pheasant appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for
compassionate release. We have reviewed the record on appeal and conclude that the
district court did not abuse its discretion in denying relief. See United States v. Kibble, 992
F.3d 326, 329 (4th Cir. 2021). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. United
States v. Pheasant, No. 2:06-cr-00025-MR-1 (W.D.N.C. Mar. 7, 2023). 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
