United States Court of Appeals FOR THE EIGHTH CIRCUIT ___________ No. 03-1279 ___________ United States of America, * * Appellee, * Appeal from the United States * District Court for the Eastern v. * District of Missouri. * Byron James Miller, * [UNPUBLISHED] * Appellant. * ___________ Submitted: September 12, 2003 Filed: September 15, 2003 ___________ Before BYE, BOWMAN, and MELLOY, Circuit Judges. ___________ PER CURIAM. Byron James Miller appeals the District Court’s1 order denying his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) (2000) motion. Having carefully reviewed the record, we agree with the District Court that Miller is not entitled to a sentence reduction based on Amendment 635 to the Sentencing Guidelines, which revised the commentary of U.S.S.G. § 3B1.2 (2002) (mitigating role in offense). See U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual app. C, Amendment 635 (Supp. 2002). Among other things, Amendment 635 is not listed in U.S.S.G. § 1B1.10(c) (2002). See U.S.S.G. § 1B1.10(a) (2002) 1 The Honorable Catherine D. Perry, United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Missouri. (sentence reduction is authorized under § 3582(c)(2) where defendant’s Guidelines range has been lowered as result of amendment listed in subsection (c); sentence reduction not otherwise authorized); United States v. King, 280 F.3d 886, 891 (8th Cir. 2002) (Congress gave Sentencing Commission explicit power, implemented in § 1B1.10, to decide whether its amendments will be given retroactive effect), cert. denied, 537 U.S. 965 (2002). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. A true copy. Attest: CLERK, U.S. COURT OF APPEALS, EIGHTH CIRCUIT. -2-
