PER CURIAM:
Randall J. Keystone appeals the district court’s order denying his 18 U.S.C.
§ 3582(c)(1)(A) motion for compassionate release. We have reviewed the record and find
no reversible error. See United States v. Davis, 99 F.4th 647, 653-55, 657-59, 661 (4th Cir.
2024) (stating standard of review, addressing determinations district court must make to
grant relief, and addressing parameters governing district court’s consideration of factors
raised for relief); Jackson v. Lightsey, 775 F.3d 170, 177 (4th Cir. 2014) (“The informal
brief is an important document; under Fourth Circuit rules, our review is limited to issues
preserved in that brief.”). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. United
States v. Keystone, No. 2:18-cr-00013-JPJ-1 (W.D. Va. Aug. 6, 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
