The following excerpt is from United States v. Drummondo-Farias, 20-10187, 20-10256 (9th Cir. 2021):
We review for an abuse of discretion the denial of a motion for compassionate release under Section 3582(c)(1). United States v. Aruda, 993 F.3d 797, 799 (9th Cir. 2021) (per curiam). A district court abuses its discretion when "its application of the correct legal standard [is] (1) 'illogical,' (2) 'implausible,' or (3) without 'support in inferences that may be drawn from the facts in the record.'" United States v. Hinkson, 585 F.3d 1247, 1262 (9th Cir. 2009) (en banc) (quoting Anderson v. City of Bessemer City, N.C. , 470 U.S. 564, 577 (1985)).
