UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 23-7275 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff - Appellee, v. MICHAEL JERMAINE MCDOWELL, Defendant - Appellant. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, at Raleigh. Terrence W. Boyle, District Judge. (5:15-cr-00033-BO-1) Submitted: April 11, 2024 Decided: April 16, 2024 Before AGEE and QUATTLEBAUM, Circuit Judges, and FLOYD, Senior Circuit Judge. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Michael Jermaine McDowell, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Michael Jermaine McDowell appeals the district court’s order denying his second 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 McDowell’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. McDowell, No. 5:15-cr-00033-BO-1 (E.D.N.C. Nov. 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
