The following excerpt is from United States v. Saladino, 20-1563 (2nd Cir. 2021):

We review the denial of a motion for compassionate release for abuse of discretion, which incorporates de novo review with respect to questions of statutory interpretation. See United States v. Holloway, 956 F.3d 660, 664 (2d Cir. 2020); Warren v. Pataki, 823 F.3d 125, 137 (2d Cir. 2016) ("A district court has abused its discretion if it has (1) based its ruling on an erroneous view of the law, (2) made a clearly erroneous assessment of the evidence, or (3) rendered a decision that cannot be located within the range of permissible decisions.") (emphasis added).
