PER CURIAM:
Bruce Lee Gaskins appeals the district court’s order denying his motion for
compassionate release under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A). We have reviewed the record and
find no abuse of discretion. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district
court. United States v. Gaskins, No. 5:18-cr-00400-BO-1 (E.D.N.C. Aug. 21, 2020). 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
