        PER CURIAM:

               Claude Sloan appeals the district court’s orders denying Sloan’s recent motions for

        compassionate release under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A)(i). Limiting our review of the

        record to the issues raised in Sloan’s informal brief, see 4th Cir. R. 34(b); Jackson v.

        Lightsey, 775 F.3d 170, 177 (4th Cir. 2014), and finding no reversible error, we affirm the

        district court’s orders.    United States v. Sloan, No. 2:18-cr-00004-JPJ-1 (W.D. Va.

        Jan. 22, 2023; Apr. 12, 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
