Guidelines. Because Amendment 801 is not listed in U.S.S.G. § 1B1.10(d), we agree
with the district court that section 3582c)(2) does not authorize a sentence reduction.
See U.S.S.G. § 1B1.10(a) (sentence-reduction authority under § 3582(c)(2) limited
to amendments listed in subsection (d)); United States v. Koons, 850 F.3d 973, 976
(8th Cir. 2017) (discussing retroactivity of sentence-reducing amendments), aff’d,
138 S. Ct. 1783 (2018). We also reject Eaton’s argument that non-retroactivity gives
rise to a due process concern. See United States v. Johnson, 703 F.3d 464, 469 (8th
Cir. 2013).
The judgment is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
