PER CURIAM:
Edward Lee Moody, Jr., appeals the district court’s order denying his 18 U.S.C.
§ 3582(c)(1)(A) motion for compassionate release. We review a district court’s order
denying a compassionate release motion for abuse of discretion. United States v. Kibble,
992 F.3d 326, 329 (4th Cir. 2021) (stating standard of review). We have reviewed the
record and conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion. We therefore affirm
the district court’s order. United States v. Moody, No. 2:18-cr-00154-RGD-DEM-1 (E.D.
Va. Apr. 5, 2023). 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
