(2:17-cr-00116-RAJ-RJK-6) Submitted: November 30, 2023 Decided: December 19, 2023 Before KING and WYNN, Circuit Judges, and FLOYD, Senior Circuit Judge. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Abraham A. Atkins, Appellant Pro Se. John Farrell Butler, Assistant United States Attorney, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Norfolk, Virginia, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. 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
