PER CURIAM:
Charles William Masters appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for
compassionate release pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A)(i). Having reviewed the
record and Masters’ claims, we find no reversible error in the district court’s exercise of its
discretion to deny relief. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. United States
v. Masters, No. 2:18-cr-00002-TSK-MJA-1 (N.D.W. Va. Sept. 2, 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
