United States v. Darnell Norton

PER CURIAM. Darnell Michael Norton appeals after the district court 1 denied his motion for a sentence reduction under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2). Having jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, this court affirms. The district court did not abuse its discretion in denying a sentence reduction, as it adequately examined the sentencing factors and public safety concerns, and ex *330 plained its reasoning. See United States v. Long, 757 F.3d 762, 768 (8th Cir. 2014) (abuse-of-discretion review of discretionary decision whether to grant authorized § 3582(c)(2) modification); see also 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. Footnotes [1] The Honorable Linda R. Reade, Chief Judge, United States District Court for the Northem District of Iowa.
