Before King, Haynes, and Graves, Circuit Judges.
Per Curiam: *
Randy Dominguez, federal prisoner # 06262-480, appeals the district
court’s denial of his motion for compassionate release, filed pursuant to

asserts that the district court erred in its consideration of the 18 U.S.C.
§ 3553(a) factors.
The district court did not abuse its discretion. See United States v.
Chambliss, 948 F.3d 691, 693 (5th Cir. 2020). The district court considered
Dominguez’s motion, which discussed his rehabilitative efforts, and the
record supports its assessment of the § 3553(a) factors; it is therefore
unnecessary for us to discuss the parties’ arguments regarding Dominguez’s
showing of extraordinary and compelling reasons for compassionate release.
See United States v. Jackson, 27 F.4th 1088, 1093 n.8 (5th Cir. 2022); Ward v.
United States, 11 F.4th 354, 360-62 (5th Cir. 2021); Chambliss, 948 F.3d at
693-94.
AFFIRMED.
