PER CURIAM.

      Federal inmate Rodney Brown appeals the district court’s1 dismissal of his pro
se motion for a sentence reduction pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2). Upon careful

      1
       The Honorable Brian S. Miller, Chief Judge, United States District Court for
the Eastern District of Arkansas.
de novo review, see United States v. Long, 

, 763 (8th Cir. 2014)
(standard of review), we conclude that dismissal was proper because Brown was
sentenced based on a binding plea agreement that included a base offense level and
drug quantity, but did not include a criminal history level or Guidelines range, and
thus was not expressly based on a Guidelines range that was subsequently lowered
by the Sentencing Commission, see Freeman v. United States, 

,
2695-700 (2011) (Sotomayor, J., concurring); 

.

      Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
