PER CURIAM.

Carmelo Reyes appeals the district court’s1 denial of a sentence reduction under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2). His counsel has filed a motion to withdraw, and has filed a brief challenging the denial.

Upon careful review, we conclude that the district court did not err in determining that Reyes was ineligible for a sentence reduction. See United States v. Tollefson, 853 F.3d 481, 485 (8th Cir. 2017) (defendant’s eligibility for § 3582(c)(2) sentence reduction is reviewed de novo).

Accordingly, we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw, and affirm.
