PER CURIAM:
In these consolidated cases, Steven Russell Helton appeals the district court’s orders
denying his motions for a modification of the conditions of his supervised release, pursuant
to 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e)(2). Upon review, we discern no abuse of discretion in the district
court’s decisions. See United States v. Castellano, 60 F.4th 217, 223 (4th Cir. 2023)
(providing standard of review for § 3583(e)(2) motion). Accordingly, we affirm the district
court’s orders. United States v. Helton, No. 5:12-cr-00134-1 (S.D. W. Va. July 2, 2024;
Dec. 24, 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
