PER CURIAM.

withdraw, and has filed a brief challenging the denial. Allen has also filed a pro se
brief.
Upon careful review, we conclude 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

Accordingly, we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw, and affirm.
