PER CURIAM:

Adrian Rashaun Anderson appeals the district court’s order denying his 18 U.S.C.

§ 3582(c)(1)(A) motion for compassionate release. We have reviewed the record and

conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion by finding that Anderson failed

to present extraordinary and compelling reasons for a sentence reduction, as defined in U.S.

Sentencing Guidelines Manual § 1B1.13(b), p.s. (2024), and denying Anderson’s motion

on that ground. * 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.

Anderson, No. 5:17-cr-00111-FL-2 (E.D.N.C. Apr. 15, 2025). 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

* We note that Anderson “may soon satisfy the 10-year requirement under § 1B1.13(b)(6) and may then file a new motion before the district court.” United States v. Crawley, 140 F.4th 165, 173 (4th Cir. 2025).
