        PER CURIAM:

               Joseph Mike appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for compassionate

        release under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A). Upon review of the record, we conclude that the

        district court did not abuse its discretion by denying Mike’s motion. See United States v.

        Malone, 57 F.4th 167, 172 (4th Cir. 2023) (stating standard of review). Accordingly, we

        affirm the district court’s order. United States v. Mike, No. 3:05-cr-00046-RJC-DSC-1

        (W.D.N.C. Oct. 30, 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
