Before HANSEN, FAGG, and BEAM, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.

       Jesse Ball appeals the district court’s1 denial of his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2)
sentence-reduction motion. Having carefully reviewed the record and the parties’
submissions on appeal, we conclude that Amendment 599 to the U.S. Sentencing
Guidelines does not apply to Ball. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the
district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

       The Honorable Stephen N. Limbaugh, United States District Judge for the
Eastern District of Missouri.
