Posted by: Azya Thornton on Dec 12, 2025

Court: 6th Circuit Court (Published Opinions)

Attorneys 1: ON BRIEF: Catherine Adinaro Shusky, OFFICE OF THE FEDERAL PUBLIC DEFENDER, Cleveland, Ohio, for Appellant.

Attorneys 2: ON BRIEF: Daniel R. Ranke, UNITED STATES ATTORNEY’S OFFICE, Cleveland, Ohio, for Appellee.

Judge(s): SUTTON, Chief Judge; BOGGS and BLOOMEKATZ, Circuit Judges

Court Appealed: United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio at Cleveland

BLOOMEKATZ, Circuit Judge. Troy Williams pleaded guilty to drug offenses, possessing a firearm as a felon, and money laundering. The district court sentenced him to 198 months in prison. About a decade later, Williams moved the district court for compassionate release, claiming that the prison officials were inadequately treating his serious medical condition. The district court denied his motion. It found that any deficiency in Williams’s medical care did not amount to extraordinary and compelling circumstances warranting his release. Because the district court’s factual findings were not clearly erroneous, we affirm.
