United States Court of Appeals For the Eighth Circuit ___________________________ No. 22-3319 ___________________________ United States of America lllllllllllllllllllllPlaintiff - Appellee v. Donald R. Turner, Jr. lllllllllllllllllllllDefendant - Appellant ____________ Appeal from United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - Cape Girardeau ____________ Submitted: March 1, 2023 Filed: March 6, 2023 [Unpublished] ____________ Before LOKEN, KELLY, and KOBES, Circuit Judges. ____________ PER CURIAM. Federal prisoner Donald Turner appeals his reduced sentence after the district court granted his motion for a sentence reduction under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A)(i). 1 1 The Honorable John A. Ross, United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Missouri. He argues on appeal that the modified sentence is substantively unreasonable, as the court should have reduced the sentence further. Upon careful review, we conclude that the court did not abuse its discretion, as the appropriate sentence reduction is within the district court’s discretion, and the court adequately considered the relevant sentencing factors and the parties’ arguments. See United States v. Davis, 19 F.4th 1083, 1086 (8th Cir. 2021) (per curiam); United States v. Rodd, 966 F.3d 740, 748 (8th Cir. 2020). Accordingly, we affirm. We also grant counsel’s motion to withdraw. ______________________________ -2-
