UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, v. DAVID DONAHUE, Defendant.


ORDER ACCEPTING THE RECOMMENDED DECISION OF THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE

JON D. LEVY CHIEF U.S. DISTRICT JUDGE

David Donahue, proceeding pro se, filed a motion for compassionate release, pursuant to 18 U.S.C.A. § 3582(c)(1)(A) (West 2022) (ECF No. 30), on May 18, 2022. Donahue requests that the Court grant him a reduced sentence or, alternatively, place him on home confinement for the remainder of his sentence because, he asserts, his high blood pressure, asthma, and sleep apnea put him at a heightened risk of severe illness from COVID-19.§ United States Magistrate Judge John C. Nivison filed his Recommended Decision on the motion with the Court on June 30, 2022 (ECF No. 33), pursuant to 28 U.S.C.A. § 636(b)(1)(B) (West 2022) and Fed.R.Civ.P. 72(b). Donahue filed an objection (ECF No. 34) on July 14, 2022.

I have reviewed and considered the Recommended Decision, together with the entire record, and have made a de novo determination of all matters adjudicated by the Magistrate Judge. I concur with the recommendations of the Magistrate Judge for the reasons set forth in his Recommended Decision and determine that no further proceedings are necessary.

It is therefore ORDERED that the Recommended Decision (ECF No. 33) of the Magistrate Judge is hereby ACCEPTED. David Donahue's motion for compassionate release (ECF No. 30) is DENIED.

SO ORDERED.
