United States v. Carlos Urquhart

277 F. App'x 639

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Carlos Urquhart appeals from the district court’s 1 denial of his motion for a reduction of his sentence pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2), based on Amendment 706 to the United States Sentencing Guidelines Manual (U.S.S.G.), which reduced certain base offense levels in U.S.S.G. § 2Dl.l(c) depending on the quantity of cocaine base (crack) involved.

Appellant is ineligible for any relief under the new retroactive amendments because his original sentence of 120 months was imposed pursuant to the mandatory minimum provision of 21 U.S.C. § 841. See United States v. Jones, 523 F.3d 881 (8th Cir.2008) (per curiam). Accordingly, we summarily affirm the district court and deny the motion for appointment of counsel.

1 . The Honorable William R. Wilson, Jr., United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas.
