        PER CURIAM:

               Michael Daniel Hammonds appeals the district court’s order denying his renewed

        18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A) motion for compassionate release. We have reviewed the record

        and discern no abuse of discretion in the district court’s denial of Hammonds’ renewed

        motion. See United States v. High, 997 F.3d 181, 185 (4th Cir. 2021) (stating standard of

        review). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. United States v. Hammonds,

        No. 0:02-cr-00535-CMC-1 (D.S.C. Nov. 30, 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
