                                                                             FILED

                                                                             Clerk

   United States of America,

                                                             Plaintiff—Appellee,

                                       versus

   James R. Markwith,

                                                         Defendant—Appellant.

                  Appeal from the United States District Court
                      for the Northern District of Texas
                           USDC No. 4:20-CV-1206

   Before Stewart, Haynes, and Graves, Circuit Judges.
   Per Curiam:*
          James Markwith appeals the denial of his motion for compassionate
   release under the First Step Act. See 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A)(i). The
   district court denied Markwith’s motion without the benefit of intervening
   Fifth Circuit authority. We therefore VACATE the district court’s order

          *
            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   opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited
   circumstances set forth in 5th Circuit Rule 47.5.4.
