PER CURIAM:
Clarence Lamont Lyons appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for
compassionate release under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A). Upon review of the record, we
conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying the motion. See
United States v. Kibble, 992 F.3d 326, 329 (4th Cir. 2021) (stating standard of review).
Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. 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
