UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee v. Rena Lakina KENNEDY, also known as Nene, Defendant-Appellant.
    No. 12-1449.
    United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.
    Submitted: Dec. 18, 2012.
    Filed: Jan. 2, 2013.
    Thomas More Hollenhorst, U.S. Attorney’s Office, Minneapolis, MN, for Plaintiff-Appellee.
    Rena Lakina Kennedy, Waseca, MN, pro se.
    Jennifer Marie Macaulay, Macaulay Law Offices, St. Paul, MN, for Defendant-Appellant.
    Before WOLLMAN, MELLOY, and SHEPHERD, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM.

Rena Kennedy appeals the district court’s denial of her 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) sentence-reduction motion, in which she argued that her sentence should be reduced because she was no longer subject to a 10-year statutory minimum sentence after the changes made by the Fair Sentencing Act of 2010. We affirm, as Kennedy’s argument is not based on a Guidelines amendment, and thus it is not properly raised in a section 3582(c)(2) motion.

The judgment is affirmed. Counsel’s motion to withdraw is granted. 
      
      . The Honorable Ann D. Montgomery, United States District Judge for the District of Minnesota.
