PER CURIAM:

Tracy Clarence Anderson appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for 

compassionate release, brought pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A), as amended by the 

First Step Act of 2018, Pub. L. No. 115-391, § 603(b)(1), 132 Stat. 5194, 5239. After

reviewing the record, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in 

denying Anderson’s motion. See United States v. Brown, 78 F.4th 122, 127 (4th Cir. 2023) 

(stating standard of review). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. United 

States v. Anderson, No. 3:13-cr-00219-FDW-1 (W.D.N.C July 27, 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
