(deleting “recency” criminal history points). We agree with the district court that
section 3582(c)(2) does not permit a sentencing reduction under Amendment 742,
because the amendment is not listed in U.S.S.G. § 1B1.10(c) among those Guidelines
amendments that may be applied retroactively. Thus, even if Amendment 742 were
a clarifying rather than substantive amendment, as Seigler argues, he is not entitled
to a reduction under section 3582(c)(2). See United States v. McHan, 386 F.3d 620,
622 (4th Cir. 2004).
We affirm the judgment of the district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
