Federal inmate Craig Allen Wieneke appeals after the district court1 denied
his pro se motion for compassionate release under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A).
Having jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, this court affirms.
The district court did not abuse its broad discretion in denying relief, as it
adequately considered the parties’ arguments and the relevant 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a)
factors. See United States v. Rodd, 966 F.3d 740, 746 (8th Cir. 2020) (reviewing
decision to grant or deny authorized sentence reduction under § 3582(c)(1)(A) for
abuse of discretion); see also United States v. Marcussen, 15 F.4th 855, 859 (8th Cir.
2021) (affirming denial of § 3582(c)(1)(A) sentence reduction; no abuse of broad
discretion when district court considered inmate’s unique circumstances and health
conditions, and concluded the § 3553(a) factors weighed against release).
The judgment is affirmed.
