PER CURIAM.
Frank Christian Nichols, a federal inmate, appeals from the district court&s1
denial of his 28 U.S.C. § 1651 motion to reduce his sentence. After reviewing the
record and the parties& briefs, we conclude the district court properly denied relief
because the motion is procedurally flawed and meritless. Accordingly, we affirm. See
8th Cir. R. 47B.
