PER CURIAM:
Antowan Thorne appeals the district court’s order denying his 18 U.S.C.
§ 3582(c)(1)(A) motion for compassionate release. We review a district court’s denial of
a compassionate release motion for abuse of discretion. United States v. High, 997 F.3d
181, 185, 187 (4th Cir. 2021). Upon review of the record, we conclude that the district
court did not abuse its discretion in denying Thorne’s motion. Accordingly, we affirm the
district court’s order. United States v. Thorne, No. 1:14-cr-00165-LMB-1 (E.D. Va. May
26, 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
