PER CURIAM:

Claude Simpson appeals the district court’s order denying his second motion for

compassionate release pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A). We have reviewed the

record and conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Simpson’s

motion. See United States v. Centeno-Morales, 90 F.4th 274, 280 (4th Cir. 2024) (stating

standard). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. United States v. Simpson, No.

7:18-cr-00291-DCC-1 (D.S.C. Oct. 25, 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
