        PER CURIAM:

               Samuel Eddie Pheasant appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for

        compassionate release. We have reviewed the record on appeal and conclude that the

        district court did not abuse its discretion in denying relief. See United States v. Kibble, 992

        F.3d 326, 329 (4th Cir. 2021). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. United

        States v. Pheasant, No. 2:06-cr-00025-MR-1 (W.D.N.C. Mar. 7, 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
