                            ____________

Before WOLLMAN, MELLOY, and SHEPHERD, Circuit Judges.
                         ____________

PER CURIAM.
       Rena Kennedy appeals the district court’s1 denial of her 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2)
sentence-reduction motion, in which she argued that her sentence should be reduced
because she was no longer subject to a 10-year statutory minimum sentence after the
changes made by the Fair Sentencing Act of 2010. We affirm, as Kennedy’s
argument is not based on a Guidelines amendment, and thus it is not properly raised
in a section 3582(c)(2) motion.

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

      1
       The Honorable Ann D. Montgomery, United States District Judge for the
District of Minnesota.
