993 F.3d 797, 799 (9th Cir. 2021). “A district court abuses its discretion if it fails to apply the correct legal standard or if its appli- cation of the correct standard is ‘illogical, implausible, or without support in infer- ences that may be drawn from facts in the record.’” United States v. Estrada,
904 F.3d 854, 862 (9th Cir. 2018) (quoting United States v. Hinkson,
585 F.3d 1247, 1251 (9th Cir. 2009) (en banc)). The district court did not abuse its discretion in determining that Al-Ghaffaar did not demonstrate “extraordinary and compelling reasons” sufficient to justify compassionate release. AFFIRMED. 2
