PER CURIAM.

Lawrence Colton appeals the district court’s1 denial of his 18 U.S.C.

§ 3582(c)(2) motion for a sentence reduction based on Guidelines Amendment 782.

1 The Honorable David S. Doty, United States District Judge for the District of Minnesota.

Upon careful review, we conclude that the court did not abuse its discretion in finding that a reduction was not warranted. See United States v. Hernandez-Marfil, 825 F.3d 410, 412 (8th Cir. 2016) (per curiam) (reviewing the denial of a § 3582(c)(2) motion for an abuse of discretion).

Accordingly, we affirm.
