Summary Calendar Clerk
United States of America,
Plaintiff—Appellee,
versus
Rudy Naranjo,
Defendant—Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Texas
USDC No. 5:05-CR-134-1
Before Wiener, Dennis, and Haynes, Circuit Judges.
Per Curiam:*
Rudy Naranjo, federal prisoner # 65240-080, appeals the denial of his
18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A)(i) motion for compassionate release. We review
the denial for an abuse of discretion. See United States v. Chambliss, 948 F.3d
691, 693 (5th Cir. 2020).
*
Pursuant to 5th Circuit Rule 47.5, the court has determined that this
opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited
circumstances set forth in 5th Circuit Rule 47.5.4.

No. 21-50961
The district court specifically cited the nature of Naranjo’s offense of
conviction, his history and characteristics, and the needs for the sentence to
reflect the seriousness of his offense, promote respect for the law, provide
just punishment, adequately deter criminal conduct, and protect the public
from his further crimes; in addition, the district court noted that no reduction
was necessary to provide Naranjo needed medical care. See 18 U.S.C.
§ 3553(a)(1), (2)(A)-(D). Although Naranjo disagrees at length with the
district court’s assessment of the § 3553(a) factors, his disagreement is not
sufficient grounds for reversal. See Chambliss, 948 F.3d at 694. Because the
district court’s consideration of the § 3553(a) factors adequately supports the
denial, we do not reach Naranjo’s remaining arguments. See Ward v. United
States, 11 F.4th 354, 360-62 (5th Cir. 2021); Chambliss, 948 F.3d at 693-94.
AFFIRMED.
