        PER CURIAM:

              Abraham A. Atkins appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for

        compassionate release. We have reviewed the record and discern no abuse of discretion.

        See United States v. Kibble, 992 F.3d 326, 329 (4th Cir. 2021) (stating standard of review

        for compassionate release motions). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order.

        United States v. Atkins, No. 2:17-cr-00116-RAJ-RJK-6 (E.D. Va., Oct. 17, 2022). 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
