If an amendment to the United States Sentencing Guidelines is not listed in § 1B1.10(d), then such a reduction 'is not authorized under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2).' Id. at § 1B1.10(a)(2). Amendment 794 is not listed in U.S.S.G § 1B1.10(d). As such, the Amendment cannot be retroactively applied under § 3582(c)(2) to Defendant . . . .
