PER CURIAM.
Ashley Horn appeals after the district court1 denied her a sentence reduction
pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2). Her counsel has filed a motion to withdraw, and
has also submitted a brief challenging the denial of a reduction.
1The Honorable Stephanie M. Rose, Chief Judge, United States District Court
for the Southern District of Iowa.

-- 1 of 2 --

Upon careful review, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its
discretion in finding that a reduction was not warranted based on the seriousness of
Horn’s offense. See United States v. Granados, 830 F.3d 840, 842-43 (8th Cir. 2016)
(per curiam) (defendant not automatically entitled to reduction pursuant to
§ 3582(c)(2); district court’s denial of reduction reviewed for abuse of discretion).
Accordingly, we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw and affirm.
