United States Court of Appeals

For the Eighth Circuit ___________________________ No. 24-2104 ___________________________ United States of America lllllllllllllllllllllPlaintiff - Appellee v.

Ashley Fern Horn, also known as Ashley Fern Nelson lllllllllllllllllllllDefendant - Appellant ____________ Appeal from United States District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Central ____________ Submitted: December 6, 2024 Filed: December 11, 2024 [Unpublished] ____________

Before LOKEN, SHEPHERD, and STRAS, Circuit Judges.

____________ PER CURIAM.

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.

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.
