Head Matter:
UNITED STATES of America, Appellee, v. Yamil RIVERA-KADER, also known as Llamil Kader, Appellant.
No. 10-2628.
United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.
Submitted: Oct. 28, 2010.
Filed: Oct. 29, 2010.
Yamil Rivera-Kader, Taft, CA, pro se.
Andrea E. Belgau, Robert Francis Cryne, U.S. Attorney’s Office, Omaha, NE, for Appellee.
Before LOKEN, MURPHY, and BENTON, Circuit Judges.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Yamil Rivera-Kader appeals the district court's order denying his petition for a writ of mandamus to compel the government to file a Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 35(b) motion to reduce his sentence for substantial assistance.
The district court did not abuse its discretion: among other reasons, Rivera-Ka-der failed to establish that he had a clear and indisputable right to a Rule 35(b) motion because his plea agreement reserved to the government the discretion whether to file such a motion. See In re MidAmerican Energy Co., 286 F.3d 483, 486 (8th Cir.2002) (per curiam) (standard of review); In re SDDS, Inc., 97 F.3d 1030, 1034 (8th Cir.1996). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
. The HONORABLE LAURIE SMITH CAMP, United States District Judge for the District of Nebraska.
