Opinion

PER CURIAM:

Herman Alonzo appeals the order of the district court denying his Rule 35 motion for reduction of sentence. We affirm.

Alonzo was convicted on nine counts of conspiracy to distribute cocaine and distribution of cocaine. He received a ten-year sentence. According to his brief, Alonzo “ moved to reduce his sentence to conform to the sentences of his co-defendants.” He has not challenged the legality of his sentence or the procedures that the district court followed in imposing it. The sentence was well within the statutory limit and Alonzo has not shown that the trial judge abused his discretion. Therefore, we affirm the order of the district court denying appellant’s Rule 35 motion. See United States v. Hayes, 5 Cir., 1979, 589 F.2d 811, 826-27.

AFFIRMED.
