PER CURIAM.

Anthony Birdine seeks a sentence reduction under Amendments 706, 750, and 782 to the Sentencing Guidelines. See 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2). The district court1 denied one, and we affirm.

In the course of addressing Birdine’s motion, the district court explained why it denied relief. See United States v. Burrell, 622 F.3d 961, 964 (8th Cir. 2010). And that explanation was sufficient for us to conclude that there was no abuse of discretion. See, e.g., United States v. Lewis, 827 F.3d 787, 790 (8th Cir. 2016).
