in U.S. v. ERIC SCOTT MCCAULEY, 2021 WL 2584383 (W.D. Mo. June 23, 2021) (Bough, J.), the court found that defendant's desire to step in and care for his father, now that his mother was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, is extraordinary and compelling, explaining: "On January 19, 2012, the Honorable Nanette K.
