Case Information
*1 Before: CANBY, R. NELSON, and FORREST, Circuit Judges.
Ray Perales appeals pro se from the district court’s order denying his motion for compassionate release under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
As a preliminary matter, the government contends Perales’s notice of appeal *2 was untimely. Rather than remand for the district court to determine whether Perales is correct that he has good cause for the untimeliness, see Fed. R. App. P. 4(b)(4), we instead affirm on the merits. See United States v. Sadler , 480 F.3d 932, 941-42 (9th Cir. 2007) (timely notice of appeal is not jurisdictional in a criminal case).
The district court concluded that there were no changes in sentencing law or other circumstances that constituted extraordinary and compelling reasons for compassionate release. See 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A). It further concluded that a sentence reduction would be inconsistent with the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) sentencing factors. Perales has not shown that the district court abused its discretion in reaching these conclusions. See United States v. Wright , 46 F.4th 938, 944 (9th Cir. 2022) (stating standard of review). The court considered all of Perales’s arguments and thoroughly explained why they did not warrant relief. See id. at 948-50. Moreover, the court’s findings were supported by the record.
AFFIRMED.
