    ___________
    PER CURIAM.
    Kelvin Settle, a federal prisoner, appeals the district court’s* order denying
    Settle's 18 U.S.C. § 3852(c)(2) sentence-reduction motion in which he sought
    retroactive application of Amendments 624 and 640 under U.S.S.G. § 1B1.10. On
    appeal, Settle also asks this court to take notice of Amendment 599. Having carefully
    reviewed the record, we conclude the district court did not commit error. A court may
    not grant a section 3582(c)(2) motion unless a reduction would be consistent with the
    *
    The Honorable Catherine D. Perry, United States District Judge for the Eastern
    District of Missouri.
    applicable policy statements found in U.S.S.G. § 1B1.10, and section 1B1.10 does not
    permit retroactive application of Amendments 624 and 640 in a section 3582(c)(2)
    proceeding. Cf. United States v. Dowty, 
    996 F.2d 937
    , 938-39 (8th Cir. 1993) (per
    curiam) (amendment to U.S.S.G. § 3E1.1(b) could not be applied retroactively in
    § 3582(c)(2) proceeding when amendment was not listed in § 1B1.10(c)).
    Amendment 599 does not help Settle because it deals with relevant conduct in cases
    where the defendant is charged with a separate weapon offense, which did not occur
    in Settle’s case.
    We affirm the district court and deny Settle's pending motions.
