October 25, 2021 Filing 33 Filed order (Appellate Commissioner): The motion (Docket Entry No. [ # 32 ]) of appellants appointed counsel, Michael Yucevicius, Esq., to be relieved as counsel of record is granted. See 9th Cir. R. 4-1(e). The Clerk will serve a copy of this order on appellants counsel as well as on appellant Donald Hamilton individually at: Reg. No. 71440-066, Philadelphia RRM, Residential Reentry Office, 2nd & Chestnut St 7th Fl, Philadelphia, PA 19106. [12268009] (AF) [Entered: 10/25/2021 03:55 PM]

September 15, 2021 Filing 30 Filed order (RICHARD A. PAEZ, JACQUELINE H. NGUYEN and JOHN B. OWENS) Appellees motion (Docket Entry No. [ # 26 ]) to summarily affirm the district courts order denying appellants motion for compassionate release under 18 U.S.C. 3582(c)(1)(A)(i) is granted. See United States v. Hooton, 693 F.2d 857, 858 (9th Cir. 1982) (stating standard). Contrary to appellants contention, the district court did not impermissibly treat U.S.S.G. 1B1.13 as binding. See United States v. Aruda, 993 F.3d 797, 802 (9th Cir. 2021) (though not binding, 1B1.13 may inform a district courts evaluation of a compassionate release motion filed by a defendant). In any event, the district court did not abuse its discretion by denying appellants motion based on its conclusion that the 18 U.S.C. 3553(a) factors weighed against relief. See United States v. Keller, 2 F.4th 1278, 1281, 1284 (9th Cir. 2021) (stating standard of review and explaining that the 3553(a) factors provide an independent basis for denying a compassionate release motion). Nor did the court abuse its discretion by striking appellants unauthorized supplemental brief. See Leong v. Potter, 347 F.3d 1117, 1125 (9th Cir. 2003). AFFIRMED.[12229784] (JMR) [Entered: 09/15/2021 04:28 PM]
