Head Matter:
UNITED STATES of America, Appellee, v. John Douglas CLARK, Appellant.
No. 03-2951.
United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.
Submitted May 5, 2004.
Decided May 10, 2004.
Robert Lee Teig, U.S. Attorney’s Office, Cedar Rapids, IA, for Plaintiff-Appellee.
John Douglas Clark, Manchester, KY, pro se.
Frank Santiago, Iowa City, IA, for Defendant-Appellant.
Before BYE, McMILLIAN, and RILEY, Circuit Judges.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
John Clark pleaded guilty to manufacturing and attempting to manufacture 50 grams or more of actual methamphetamine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1), 841(b)(1)(A), and 846. The district court reduced Clark's offense level by 2 levels for acceptance of responsibility, but denied an additional 1 -level reduction under U.S.S.G. § 3El.l(b) because his notice of intent to plead guilty was untimely. The court sentenced him to 140 months imprisonment and 5 years supervised release, and stated it would have imposed the same sentence if it had granted the additional reduction.
Clark now argues that he qualified for the additional 1-level reduction, but we conclude that this issue is unreviewable. See United States v. Simpkins, 953 F.2d 443, 446 (8th Cir.) (where sentence imposed falls within Guidelines range urged by appellant and it is clear sentencing court would have imposed same sentence regardless whether appellant's argument for lower Guidelines range ultimately prevailed, matter is not reviewable), cert. denied, 504 U.S. 928, 112 S.Ct. 1988, 118 L.Ed.2d 585 (1992).
Accordingly, we affirm.
. The Honorable Linda R. Reade, United States District Judge for the Northern District of Iowa.
