See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     William Blohm appeals the district court’s order denying his

“Motion for Compassionate Release.”               Our review of the record

discloses     no   reversible   error       and   no   abuse   of    discretion.

Accordingly, we affirm. We dispense with oral argument because the

facts   and   legal    contentions   are     adequately    presented       in   the

materials     before   the   court   and     argument    would      not   aid   the

decisional process.




                                                                          AFFIRMED




                                        2
