PER CURIAM.
Travis James Eaton appeals after the district court1 denied him a sentence
reduction under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2). In declining to reduce Mr. Eaton’s sentence,

The Honorable Linda R. Reade, Chief Judge, United States District Court for
the Northern District of Iowa.
the district court found that a reduction was not warranted in light of his lengthy
criminal history and the likelihood of recidivism. We conclude that there is no basis
for reversal, as the district court’s finding that a reduction was not warranted was not
an abuse of discretion. See Dillon v. United States, 560 U.S. 817, 827 (2010)
(§ 3582(c) authorizes district court to reduce sentence by applying amended
Guidelines range as if it were in effect at time of original sentencing, and leaving all
other Guidelines determinations intact as previously determined); United States v.
Long, 757 F.3d 762, 763 (8th Cir. 2014) (de novo review of whether § 3582(c)(2)
authorizes modification, and abuse-of-discretion review of decision whether to grant
authorized § 3582(c)(2) modification); United States v. Curry, 584 F.3d 1102, 1103-
05 (8th Cir. 2009) (district court did not abuse its discretion in declining to reduce
defendant’s sentence under § 3582(c)(2) due to defendant’s criminal history). The
judgment is affirmed, and counsel’s motion to withdraw is granted.
