PER CURIAM:

Ricardo M. Suggs, Jr., appeals the district court’s order denying his third motion for

a sentence reduction under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A). Upon review of the record, we

conclude the district court did not abuse its discretion by concluding that Suggs failed to

satisfy the “extraordinary and compelling reasons” criteria for a sentence reduction

established by U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual § 1B1.13(b)(6), p.s. (2023), and

denying Suggs’ 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. Suggs, No. 5:06-cr-00027-JPB-1 (N.D. W. Va. Mar. 8, 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
