PER CURIAM.

Carlos Urquhart appeals from the district court's1

 denial of his motion for a

reduction of his sentence pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2), based on Amendment

706 to the United States Sentencing Guidelines Manual (U.S.S.G.), which reduced

certain base offense levels in U.S.S.G. § 2D1.1(c) depending on the quantity of

cocaine base (crack) involved.

-2-

Appellant is ineligible for any relief under the new retroactive amendments

because his original sentence of 120 months was imposed pursuant to the mandatory

minimum provision of 21 U.S.C. § 841. See United States v. Jones, No. 08-1692 (8th

Cir. Apr. 25, 2008) (per curiam). Accordingly, we summarily affirm the district court

and deny the motion for appointment of counsel.
