PER CURIAM:
Nakie Harris 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 court did not abuse its discretion by denying Harris’ motion. See United States v.
Malone, 57 F.4th 167, 172 (4th Cir. 2023) (stating standard of review). Accordingly, we
affirm the district court’s order. United States v. Harris, No. 1:05-cr-00061-SAG-1
(D. Md. July 25, 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
* This court vacated the district court’s prior order denying Harris’ motion for
compassionate release and remanded with instructions for the district court to consider
Harris’ rehabilitative efforts, in combination with the other circumstances he presented, to
determine whether he established an extraordinary and compelling reason for relief.
