        PER CURIAM:

              Richard Arlee Champion 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 order

        denying a compassionate release motion for abuse of discretion. United States v. Centeno-

        Morales, 90 F.4th 274, 280 (4th Cir. 2024). We have reviewed the record and conclude

        that the district court did not abuse its discretion. Accordingly, we affirm the district

        court’s order. United States v. Champion, No. 1:17-cr-00046-MR-WCM-5 (W.D.N.C.

        Aug. 29, 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
