PER CURIAM.

      Bobby Graves appeals the district court’s1 denial of his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2)
sentence-reduction motion based on Amendment 750 to the United States Sentencing

      1
      The Honorable Nanette K. Laughrey, United States District Judge for the
Western District of Missouri.
Guidelines. We affirm, as the amendment did not lower Graves’s Guidelines range.
See U.S.S.G. § 1B1.10, comment. (n.1(A)) (eligibility for consideration under
§ 3582(c)(2) is triggered only by amendment that lowers applicable Guidelines
range); United States v. Tolliver, 570 F.3d 1062, 1066-67 (8th Cir. 2009) (where
applicable Guidelines range was not lowered by amendment, district court lacked
authority to reduce sentence).

      The judgment is affirmed. Counsel’s motion to withdraw is granted.
                     ______________________________
