PER CURIAM.
Quentin Gentry appeals the district court’s1 denial of his motion seeking a
sentence reduction under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2). The district court found that Gentry

was eligible for a reduction in his sentence but, after considering the severity of the
underlying offense and concerns for public safety, concluded that a reduction was not
warranted. We find no abuse of discretion in the court’s determination that the
relevant sentencing factors continued to support the original sentence imposed. 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.
