PER CURIAM:
Abraham A. Atkins appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for
compassionate release. We have reviewed the record and discern no abuse of discretion.
See United States v. Kibble, 992 F.3d 326, 329 (4th Cir. 2021) (stating standard of review
for compassionate release motions). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order.
United States v. Atkins, No. 2:17-cr-00116-RAJ-RJK-6 (E.D. Va., Oct. 17, 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
