        PER CURIAM:

               Robert Peter Russell appeals the district court’s order construing his letter as a

        renewed motion for compassionate release, 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A)(i), and denying

        relief. We discern no abuse of discretion in the district court’s decision, see United States

        v. Kibble, 992 F.3d 326, 329-31 (4th Cir.) (providing standard of review), cert. denied, 142

        S. Ct. 383 (2021), and we therefore affirm. 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
