    PER CURIAM.
    Armendariz Alexander (Alexander) appeals the district court’s1 denial of his 18
    U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) motion for a sentence reduction. Upon reviewing the record and
    counsel’s brief, we conclude the district court did not err in denying Alexander’s
    motion. See United States v. Peveler, 
    359 F.3d 369
    , 373 (6th Cir. 2004) (stating a
    decision to deny a motion to modify under § 3582 is reviewed for abuse of discretion,
    but to the extent a defendant’s arguments rest on a legal interpretation of various
    Sentencing Guidelines, the interpretation of those Guidelines is a question of law

    reviewed de novo); United States v. Friend, 
    303 F.3d 921
    , 922 (8th Cir. 2002) (per
    curiam) (proclaiming Guidelines Amendment 599 only applies to 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)
    convictions).
    We grant counsel’s motion to withdraw, and we affirm.
