PER CURIAM.

Jerome Adrow appeals 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.). That amendment reduced

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

(crack).

Based on Adrow’s total offense level and criminal history category, his

originally calculated guideline range was 108 to 135 months. Because the statutory

mandatory minimum sentence for his offense was ten years, however, the court was

required to sentence him to at least 120 months and that was the sentence imposed.

The new drug quantity guidelines do not affect the mandatory minimum sentence

applied to Adrow’s crime under 21 U.S.C. § 846 and 841(b), so he is not entitled to

a sentence reduction. See U.S.S.G. § 2D1.1(c); see also United States v. Shamico

Peters, 524 F.3d 905, 907 (8th Cir. 2008). The district court also properly refused to

reconsider Androw’s criminal history score or grant safety valve relief. See U.S.S.G.

§ 1B1.10(c); see also Peters, 524 F.3d at 907.

Accordingly, the order of the district court is summarily affirmed. See 8th Cr.

R. 47A(a).
