McDonald, 944 F.3d 769, 771 (8th Cir. 2019) (individual’s eligibility for reduced sentence under First Step Act is reviewed de novo), we agree with the district court that Bradshaw, who was sentenced to 200 months in prison under 21 U.S.C. § 841(b)(1)(C), was ineligible for the relief he sought, see Terry v. United States, 141 S.
