PER CURIAM:
Lorenzo Butts appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for
compassionate release brought pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A). After reviewing the
record, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Butts’s
motion based on the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing factors. See United States v. Brown,
78 F.4th 122, 127 (4th Cir. 2023) (stating standard of review). Accordingly, we affirm the
district court’s order. United States v. Butts, No. 2:00-cr-00067-AWA-1 (E.D. Va.
June 20, 2024). 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
