                                2987
2988               UNITED STATES v. COLSON
                          ORDER

  Andrew Colson (“Colson”) appeals from the district court’s
decision regarding a discretionary reduction of sentence under
18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2). Colson acknowledges that the district
court’s decision is not reviewable under United States v.
Lowe, 136 F.3d 1231, 1233 (9th Cir. 1998), but argues that
Lowe is no longer good law in light of United States v. Carty,
520 F.3d 984 (9th Cir. 2008) (en banc).

   We find no conflict between Carty and Lowe, and we
affirm that Lowe remains binding. Accordingly, the govern-
ment’s motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction is granted.

  DISMISSED.
