PER CURIAM.

-- 1 of 2 --

Rena Kennedy appeals the district court’s denial of her 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2)1
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.
