PER CURIAM:
Jimmy Lawrence Nance appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for
compassionate release. We have reviewed the record and Nance’s arguments in his
informal brief, as amended, and we conclude that the district court did not abuse its
discretion in denying Nance’s motion. See United States v. Brown, 78 F.4th 122, 127 (4th
Cir. 2023) (providing standard). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. United
States v. Nance, No. 7:92-cr-00135-JPJ-1 (W.D. Va. Apr. 25, 2025). We deny Nance’s
motion for appointment of counsel and 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
