United States Eighth Circuit

A denial of defendant's motion for reduction of his sentence pursuant to Amendment 706 to the U.S.S.G. is affirmed where: 1) defendant was not entitled to a reduction of sentence under Amendment 706, as he was already sentenced to the mandatory minimum; and 2) the district court properly denied defendant's request to reconsider his criminal history score, as Amendment 709 was not a covered amendment to which retroactive treatment may be given.
