United States Sixth Circuit

District court's denial of defendant's motion to reduce his sentence pursuant to 18 U.S.C. section 3582(c)(2), for his 2004 crack cocaine related offenses, is affirmed as, because Amendment 706 did not lower the statutory mandatory minimum term of imprisonment, defendant was not eligible for a sentence reduction pursuant to section 3582(c)(2). Further, because defendant's counsel has filed an adequate Anders brief, and independent review of the record reveals no arguable issues sufficient to sustain the appeal, the counsel's motion to withdraw is granted.
