PER CURIAM
John Forrest Ham, Jr., appeals the district court's order denying his motion for compassionate release. We have reviewed the record on appeal and conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying relief. See United States v. Kibble, 992 F.3d 326, 329 (4th Cir. 2021) (providing standard). Accordingly, we affirm the district court's order. United States v. Ham, No. 6:10-cr-00046-TMC-1 (D.S.C. Jan. 12, 2023). Ham's motion for appointment of counsel is denied. 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
