UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. KEVIN M. COOPER, Defendant-Appellant.


NONPRECEDENTIAL DISPOSITION

Submitted October 12, 2023

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Illinois. No. 3:08-CR-30066-NJR Nancy J. Rosenstengel, Chief Judge.

Before FRANK H. EASTERBROOK, Circuit Judge DIANE P. WOOD, Circuit Judge CANDACE JACKSON-AKIWUMI, Circuit Judge

ORDER

Last year we held that the district court did not abuse its discretion when denying Kevin Cooper's motion for compassionate release. United States v. Cooper, No. 21-1781 (7th Cir. Apr. 19, 2022).

Cooper then filed a second motion for compassionate release, making arguments similar to those presented in his first motion. The district court denied it, essentially for the same reasons we had already considered. This second decision, like the first, is not an abuse of discretion. No more need be said.

AFFIRMED

We have unanimously agreed to decide the case without argument because the briefs and record adequately present the facts and legal arguments, and argument would not significantly aid the court. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2)(C).
