Before MELLOY, GRUENDER, and BENTON, Circuit Judges.
                          ___________

PER CURIAM.

       Robert John Ironbear was sentenced in 2008 to 168 months in prison. The
district court1 later granted the government’s Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure
35(b) motion based on Ironbear’s substantial assistance, and reduced his sentence to
108 months. Ironbear appeals. Upon careful review, we conclude that we lack
jurisdiction to hear his appeal. See United States v. Haskins, 479 F.3d 955, 957 (8th
Cir. 2007) (per curiam) (jurisdiction over appeal of Rule 35(b) sentence is governed

      1
      The Honorable Richard G. Kopf, United States District Judge for the District
of Nebraska.
by 18 U.S.C. § 3742(a); although defendant framed issue as sentence’s overall
reasonableness, he was appealing ruling on motion to reduce sentence, and jurisdiction
was lacking because he did not satisfy § 3742(a) criteria). Accordingly, we grant
counsel leave to withdraw and we dismiss this appeal.
