MEMORANDUM **
Spresim Alimi appeals pro se from the district courts orders denying his motion for compassionate release under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A)(i) and subsequent motion for reconsideration. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
Alimi contends that the district court erred by applying U.S.S.G. § 1B1.13 as an applicable policy statement, erred in its 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) and dangerousness analysis, and wrongly concluded that Alimis obesity alone could not constitute an extraordinary and compelling reason for release. We need not decide whether the district court erred in its “extraordinary and compelling” analysis because the court did not abuse its discretion in independently concluding that the § 3553(a) sentencing factors did not support relief. See United States v. Keller, 2 F.4th 1278, 1281, 1284 (9th Cir. 2021) (stating standard of review and explaining that court may deny compassionate release based on its § 3553(a) analysis alone). As the district court observed, Alimis criminal history, the seriousness of his offense, and the need to protect the public weighed against shortening his sentence by more than half. See 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a)(1), (a)(2)(A), (C). Moreover, contrary to Alimis argument, the court did not rely on any clearly erroneous facts in calculating the remaining time on Alimis custodial sentence.
AFFIRMED.
