v.

Michael A. Orji,

Appellant

ON APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

BEFORE: Wilkins, Pan, and Garcia, Circuit Judges

J U D G M E N T

This appeal was considered on the record from the United States District Court

for the District of Columbia and on the memoranda of law and fact filed by the parties. 

The court has determined that the issues presented occasion no need for an opinion.

See D.C. Cir. Rule 36. Upon consideration of the foregoing, it is

ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the district court’s April 18, 2024 order

denying appellant’s motion to reduce his sentence under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A) be

affirmed. The district court allowed appellant the opportunity to file a reply in support of

his motion, and appellant has not shown that his due process rights were violated with

regard to the ability to file a reply. Additionally, appellant has not shown that the district

court abused its discretion in concluding that he failed to establish extraordinary and

compelling reasons warranting a reduction in his sentence. See United States v. Long,

997 F.3d 342, 352 (D.C. Cir. 2021). Finally, appellant does not challenge the district

court’s denial of his request to appoint counsel, and thus he has forfeited any such

argument. See United States ex rel. Totten v. Bombardier Corp., 380 F.3d 488, 497

(D.C. Cir. 2004) (“Ordinarily, arguments that parties do not make on appeal are deemed

to have been waived.”).

Pursuant to D.C. Circuit Rule 36, this disposition will not be published. The Clerk

is directed to withhold issuance of the mandate herein until seven days after resolution
