PER CURIAM:
Richard Arlee Champion 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 order
denying a compassionate release motion for abuse of discretion. United States v. Centeno-
Morales, 90 F.4th 274, 280 (4th Cir. 2024). We have reviewed the record and conclude
that the district court did not abuse its discretion. Accordingly, we affirm the district
court’s order. United States v. Champion, No. 1:17-cr-00046-MR-WCM-5 (W.D.N.C.
Aug. 29, 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
