§ 3582(c)(2) motion to reduce his sentence under Amendment 750 to the United

       The Honorable Susan Webber Wright, United States District Judge for the
Eastern District of Arkansas.
States Sentencing Guidelines. We conclude the district court did not abuse its
discretion in declining to reduce the sentence after properly considering the danger
that a reduction in Cooper’s prison term might pose to the community. See United
States v. Burrell, 622 F.3d 961, 963-64 (8th Cir. 2010); see also U.S.S.G. § 1B1.10,
comment. (n.1(B)(ii)). Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court, and
we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw.
