USCA4 Appeal: 23-7275      Doc: 6        Filed: 04/16/2024     Pg: 2 of 2

        PER CURIAM:

              Michael Jermaine McDowell appeals the district court’s order denying his second

        motion for compassionate release under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A). Upon review of the

        record, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion by denying

        McDowell’s motion. 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. McDowell, No. 5:15-cr-00033-BO-1 (E.D.N.C. Nov. 30, 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

                                                    2
