Ashley Horn appeals after the district court1 denied her a sentence reduction pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2). Her counsel has filed a motion to withdraw, and has also submitted a brief challenging the denial of a reduction.
The Honorable Stephanie M. Rose, Chief Judge, United States District Court for the Southern District of Iowa. Upon careful review, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in finding that a reduction was not warranted based on the seriousness of Horn’s offense. See United States v. Granados, 830 F.3d 840, 842-43 (8th Cir. 2016) (per curiam) (defendant not automatically entitled to reduction pursuant to § 3582(c)(2); district court’s denial of reduction reviewed for abuse of discretion).
Accordingly, we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw and affirm. ______________________________
