PER CURIAM:

Dennis Wayne Rowsey, Jr., appeals the district court’s orders denying his motion

for compassionate release under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A). We have reviewed the record

and conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion by finding the 18 U.S.C.

§ 3553(a) factors weighed against Rowsey’s release. See United States v. Malone, 57 F.4th

167, 172 (4th Cir. 2023) (stating standard of review). Accordingly, we affirm the district

court’s orders. United States v. Rowsey, No. 4:11-cr-00053-MSD-TEM-1 (E.D. Va. July

3, 2023; Jan. 18, 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
