                  Appeal from the United States District Court

                            USDC No. 2:19-CR-4-1

   Before King, Costa, and Ho, Circuit Judges.
   Per Curiam:*
          Aaron Fryman, federal prisoner # 75775-479, appeals the district
   court’s denial of his motion for compassionate release under 18 U.S.C.
   § 3582(c)(1)(A). He argues that he has shown extraordinary and compelling
   reasons warranting compassionate release given the risk a reinfection of

          *
            Pursuant to 5th Circuit Rule 47.5, the court has determined that this
   opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited

   COVID-19 poses to him in light of his medical conditions, particularly his
   chronic asthma.
          We review the district court’s decision to deny a prisoner’s motion
   for compassionate release for an abuse of discretion.            United States
   v. Chambliss, 948 F.3d 691, 693 (5th Cir. 2020). Fryman has not shown that
   the district court abused its discretion in finding that the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a)
   factors weighed against his release. See id. at 693-64. Accordingly, the
   judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED. Fryman’s motion for
   appointment of counsel is DENIED. See United States v. Robinson, 542 F.3d
   1045, 1052 (5th Cir. 2008).
