No. 21-50215 c/w No. 21-51194 and the record on appeal, we hold that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Blake’s motion on the ground that Blake’s medical conditions were not extraordinary or compelling. See United States v. Cooper, 996 F.3d 283, 286 (5th Cir. 2021); see also § 3582(c)(1)(A)(i). We do not reach the district court’s alternative holding that early release was unmerited because Blake presented a danger to society. The district court’s order is AFFIRMED.
