PER CURIAM.
Derrick Golden appeals after the district court1 denied his motion seeking a
sentence reduction under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2). Upon careful review, we conclude
1The Honorable Charles B. Kornmann, United States District Judge for the
District of South Dakota.

-- 1 of 2 --

that the district court did not abuse its discretion in finding that a reduction was not
warranted. See United States v. Boyd, 819 F.3d 1054, 1056 (8th Cir. 2016) (per
curiam) (district court’s decision whether to grant authorized § 3582(c)(2) motion is
reviewed for an abuse of discretion).
Accordingly, we affirm.
