Before SMITH, BENTON, and KELLY, Circuit Judges. ____________

PER CURIAM.

Quentin Gentry appeals after the district court denied his motion seeking a sentence reduction under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2). The district court’s denial of relief does not contain sufficient explanation of its reasoning to allow this court to conduct a meaningful review. See United States v. Burrell, 622 F.3d 961, 964 (8th Cir. 2010) (district court need not give lengthy explanations of the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors or categorically rehearse the relevant factors in a § 3582 proceeding, but some statement of the district court’s reasoning is necessary for this court to be able to meaningfully review the decision). Therefore, we vacate the denial and remand to the district court for further proceedings. ______________________________
