PER CURIAM:
James Elmer Gross, Sr., appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for
compassionate release. We have reviewed the record and find no abuse of discretion in the
district court’s denial of Gross’s motion. See United States v. Brown, 78 F.4th 122, 127
(4th Cir. 2023) (providing standard). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order.
United States v. Gross, No. 1:02-cr-00201-JRR-1 (D. Md. Dec. 18, 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
