PER CURIAM.

Appellate Case: 15-3927 Page: 1 Date Filed: 10/07/2016 Entry ID: 4456682 
Darnell Michael Norton appeals after the district court1

 denied his motion for

a sentence reduction under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2). Having jurisdiction under 28

U.S.C. § 1291, this court affirms.

The district court did not abuse its discretion in denying a sentence reduction,

as it adequately examined the sentencing factors and public safety concerns, and

explained its reasoning. See United States v. Long, 757 F.3d 762, 763 (8th Cir. 2014)

(abuse-of-discretion review of discretionary decision whether to grant authorized §

3582(c)(2) modification); see also United States v. Curry, 584 F.3d 1102, 1103-05

(8th Cir. 2009) (district court did not abuse its discretion in declining to reduce

defendant’s sentence under § 3582(c)(2) due to defendant's criminal history).

The judgment is affirmed and counsel’s motion to withdraw is granted.
