PER CURIAM:

Tremaine Antwaun Brown appeals the district court’s order denying his third 18 

U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A) motion for compassionate release. Upon review of the record, we 

conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in determining that sentencing 

relief was not warranted. See United States v. Bethea, 54 F.4th 826, 831, 834 (4th Cir. 

2022) (noting standard of review, determinations district court must make before granting 

motion, and guideposts for assessing whether district court has abused its discretion in 

considering 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors). Specifically, the court accurately recounted 

Brown’s arguments in favor of a reduction and explained its rationale for rejecting those 

arguments, and further opined that the § 3553(a) factors did not countenance granting relief 

in this case.

Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. United States v. Brown, No. 1:14-

cr-00285-CCE-1 (M.D.N.C. Aug. 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
