PER CURIAM:
Tracy Clarence Anderson appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for
compassionate release, brought pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A), as amended by the
First Step Act of 2018, Pub. L. No. 115-391, § 603(b)(1), 132 Stat. 5194, 5239. After
reviewing the record, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in
denying Anderson’s motion. See United States v. Brown, 78 F.4th 122, 127 (4th Cir. 2023)
(stating standard of review). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. United
States v. Anderson, No. 3:13-cr-00219-FDW-1 (W.D.N.C July 27, 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
