PER CURIAM.

Appellate Case: 12-1449 Page: 1 Date Filed: 01/02/2013 Entry ID: 3989580 
Rena Kennedy appeals the district court’s denial of her 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) 1

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.
