PER CURIAM:

Abraham A. Atkins appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for

compassionate release. We have reviewed the record and discern no abuse of discretion.

See United States v. Kibble, 992 F.3d 326, 329 (4th Cir. 2021) (stating standard of review

for compassionate release motions). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order.

United States v. Atkins, No. 2:17-cr-00116-RAJ-RJK-6 (E.D. Va., Oct. 17, 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
