        PER CURIAM:

              Antowan Thorne appeals the district court’s order denying his 18 U.S.C.

        § 3582(c)(1)(A) motion for compassionate release. We review a district court’s denial of

        a compassionate release motion for abuse of discretion. United States v. High, 997 F.3d

        181, 185, 187 (4th Cir. 2021). Upon review of the record, we conclude that the district

        court did not abuse its discretion in denying Thorne’s motion. Accordingly, we affirm the

        district court’s order. United States v. Thorne, No. 1:14-cr-00165-LMB-1 (E.D. Va. May

        26, 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
