                                  ____________

Before LOKEN, MELLOY, and BENTON, Circuit Judges.
                           ____________

PER CURIAM.

     In 2009, Omar Villareal was convicted of conspiring to distribute 5 kilograms
or more of a mixture containing cocaine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1),
841(b)(1)(A), and 846, and the district court1 sentenced him to 210 months in prison
and 5 years of supervised release. Villareal later moved under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2)
to reduce his sentence pursuant to Guidelines Amendments 748 and 750. The court
summarily denied the motion, and he appeals.

       The district court correctly denied relief, because Amendment 750 did not
lower the sentencing range applicable to powder cocaine offenses; and even setting
aside its applicability, Amendment 748 is not listed among those amendments that
may be applied retroactively to reduce a sentence. See 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2);
U.S.S.G. § 1B1.10. Accordingly, we affirm. We also grant counsel’s motion to
withdraw.
                         ______________________________

      1
      The Honorable Nanette K. Laughrey, United States District Judge for the
Western District of Missouri.
